Kings Plain Track

Kings Plain Track delivers a genuine high-country challenge that rewards confident 4WD drivers with stunning alpine scenery and the satisfaction of conquering some serious terrain. Located near Cobberas in Victoria's remote ranges, this 6.6 km route demands respect—you'll navigate a punishing 17% grade that tests both your vehicle's capability and your driving skill. The steep sections come without warning, so you'll need to approach this trail with a methodical, low-range mindset and genuine mechanical sympathy.

What makes Kings Plain Track compelling is the dramatic landscape you'll experience. You'll traverse rugged high-country terrain with panoramic views across the Cobberas plateau, passing through native vegetation and experiencing the raw beauty of Victoria's alpine wilderness. The 25-minute average completion time might seem short, but that reflects the intensity rather than the distance—you're not rushing through this one.

Come properly prepared: ensure your 4WD is in excellent mechanical condition, carry recovery gear, and check weather conditions before heading out. The track has been successfully tackled by a small number of experienced operators, so use their proven routes as your guide. This isn't a trail for learning intermediate skills; it's one where your experience should already be solid. The reward is an unforgettable drive through some of Victoria's most spectacular and least-travelled high country.
