Dicks Track

You'll discover why Dicks Track has become a favourite among Victorian 4WD enthusiasts—this short but satisfying run near Tallarook packs plenty of character into just 0.4 km. The trail offers an excellent opportunity to test your vehicle's handling on varied terrain without committing to a full-day adventure, making it perfect for those wanting to combine multiple tracks in a single outing.

The driving experience here focuses on technical ground conditions rather than steep climbs. You'll navigate through sections of uneven track with ruts and rough ground that demand careful line choice and steady vehicle control. The landscape around you reveals the natural beauty of central Victoria's rural terrain, with native vegetation framing the route. Despite the medium difficulty rating, the trail remains accessible to competent drivers with well-maintained vehicles, and its short length means you can complete it in around 4 minutes.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good working order and your tyres have adequate tread for grip on loose surfaces. Check weather conditions beforehand—recent rain can make the ground more challenging. While there are no steep grades to worry about, standard 4WD safety practices apply: drive defensively, be prepared for obstacles, and consider using the Newtracs app to track your progress and connect with other off-roaders who've tackled this track.
