Little Bunyip Track (Difficult) - Jarvies Track

For 4WD enthusiasts seeking a genuine test of vehicle and driving skill, the Little Bunyip Track delivers steep, technical terrain that separates capable rigs from the rest. This challenging 2.5 km section near Gembrook pushes you through demanding grades with an 18% average slope that requires precise throttle control and genuine low-range capability. You'll navigate rocky outcrops and deeply rutted sections where line choice becomes critical—one wrong move can mean getting bogged or high-centered.

The surrounding forest landscape offers rugged beauty as you work your way through this short but intense circuit. You should expect a concentrated 10-minute assault on your vehicle's suspension, traction, and your own nerve. The steep grade means you'll be managing gravity on both ascent and descent, with washouts and loose rock adding to the complexity. Before attempting this track, ensure your vehicle has quality recovery points and consider bringing a spotter if you're tackling it for the first time.
