Logging Track

You'll discover a hidden gem in the forests near Wongungarra where a former logging track offers an excellent introduction to off-road driving. This medium-difficulty trail provides the perfect balance of accessibility and genuine 4WD challenge, letting you experience forest driving without requiring advanced skills or equipment modifications.

The 1.6 km route winds through native bushland with mixed terrain that keeps you engaged throughout the short drive. You'll navigate through sections of loose gravel, rocky patches, and rutted ground that demand steady vehicle control and careful line selection. The surrounding tall timber creates an immersive forest experience, with dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy as you progress. Despite the modest length, the varied conditions mean you won't rush through—most drivers spend around 10 minutes completing the trail, taking time to appreciate the woodland scenery and work through the technical sections.

The trail's lack of steep grades makes it forgiving, though you should remain alert for hidden rocks and deep ruts that can surprise inexperienced drivers. A standard 4WD with decent ground clearance handles the conditions well. Before heading out, check current weather conditions as rain can make sections slippery. The Newtracs app will help you navigate confidently and track your progress. This trail is ideal for building your off-road confidence in a supportive environment before tackling more demanding routes in the region.
