Hodgkin Track

You'll discover the Hodgkin Track as an intriguing short route near Mitta Mitta that offers 4WD drivers a chance to explore lesser-known terrain in Victoria's high country. This 1.7 km trail provides an accessible adventure without the extreme technical demands of more famous alpine tracks, making it ideal for drivers looking to test their vehicles on genuine off-road conditions while enjoying the scenic beauty of the region.

The track winds through natural terrain that showcases the rugged character of the Mitta Mitta area. You'll navigate varied ground conditions as you progress through the route, experiencing the kind of real-world off-road driving that separates genuine 4WD exploration from highway driving. The relatively gentle grade means you can focus on line selection and vehicle handling rather than managing steep descents, allowing for a more measured and controlled driving experience.

Before heading out, come prepared with standard 4WD gear and supplies—despite its modest length, you're venturing into remote country where self-sufficiency matters. Check your vehicle's condition thoroughly, bring extra water and recovery equipment, and consider using the Newtracs app to track your progress. The lack of previous recorded attempts means you'll essentially be pioneering the route yourself, adding a genuine sense of exploration to this Victorian gem.
