Cherry Tree Track

Cherry Tree Track near Wabonga will test your 4WD skills with its relentless steep grades and demanding terrain. This hard-rated trail is perfect for experienced drivers seeking a genuine challenge in Victoria's high country, where you'll navigate consistent 6% gradients that require precision driving and vehicle control. The 4.6 km route winds through rugged bush landscape, offering a concentrated dose of technical off-roading rather than leisurely scenic cruising.

You'll encounter rocky outcrops, deeply rutted sections, and tight vegetation as you tackle the sustained climb. The narrow track demands respect—loose gravel and exposed rocks mean you'll need quality ground clearance and responsive steering. Bring a well-maintained vehicle with good tyres and consider your fuel and water supplies; recovery options are limited in this remote area. The 23-minute average completion time reflects the intensity rather than distance, so pace yourself and don't rush the technical sections.

This is a trail for serious off-road enthusiasts who understand vehicle limitations and safety protocols.
