Logies Road

You'll discover why Logies Road is a perfect introduction to off-road driving in Victoria's high country. This short but satisfying trail near Reedy Flat delivers genuine 4WD experience without overwhelming complexity, making it ideal for newcomers building confidence or experienced drivers wanting a quick adventure. The 1.5 km route packs surprising character into a brief journey, with an 11% grade that keeps things interesting while remaining manageable for vehicles with decent clearance.

The terrain alternates between rocky sections and packed earth, rewarding smooth throttle control and steady steering inputs. You'll navigate modest ruts and uneven surfaces that test your vehicle's articulation while the surrounding bushland frames pleasant views typical of the region. The relatively quick five-minute completion time belies the trail's technical merit—this isn't a casual cruise, but rather concentrated driving that demands attention.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition and your tyres have adequate tread for grip on loose surfaces. The steep sections demand respect; take your time and use low-range gearing to maintain control. While hazard-free under normal conditions, always carry basic recovery gear and let someone know your route. With only two confirmed vehicle completions logged, you'll be adding your experience to Newtracs' growing database, helping the community understand what works on this rewarding short track.
