East West Divide Track (4wd)

If you're seeking a medium-difficulty 4WD challenge that delivers genuine river-crossing excitement without overwhelming technical demands, the East West Divide Track near Yangoura deserves a spot on your Victorian adventures. This 17-kilometre route rewards you with varied terrain that tests your vehicle handling across different conditions, making it ideal for drivers looking to build confidence beyond basic tracks.

You'll navigate a landscape that demands respect for water crossings—the highlight of this trail—where careful line choice and steady throttle control are essential. The 6% steep grade sections require attentive driving, but nothing that should intimidate experienced 4WD enthusiasts. Expect a mix of well-formed and rougher track surfaces that keep you engaged throughout the 29-minute average run, with scenery that shifts between open country and tree-lined sections typical of the region.

Before heading out, check current water levels if recent rainfall has occurred, as river conditions can change quickly. Bring recovery gear and ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical order—tyres with decent tread are particularly important for grip on wet terrain. The Newtracs app can help you navigate confidently and track your progress along the route.
