Guy Track

If you're craving a genuine test of your 4WD's climbing ability without committing to a full-day expedition, Guy Track delivers impressive thrills in a compact package. This challenging 1.1 km route near Stanley, Victoria punches well above its weight, featuring a formidable 50% steep grade that'll have you gripping the wheel as you tackle one of the region's most dramatic ascents. You'll experience the authentic off-road driving that makes 4WD enthusiasts keep coming back, with terrain demanding precision, vehicle control, and genuine mechanical capability.
