Lovers Lane

You'll discover why Lovers Lane has earned its romantic reputation as you cruise through some of Victoria's most picturesque countryside near Goroke. This easy 4WD track offers the perfect introduction to off-road driving, with gentle terrain that lets you soak in the pastoral landscape without demanding technical skills. The route winds through farmland and tree-lined sections, providing a peaceful escape that's ideal for beginners, families, or anyone seeking a leisurely weekend drive away from sealed roads.

The 2.8-kilometre trail is refreshingly straightforward, with no steep grades to challenge your vehicle or nerves. You'll encounter well-maintained track surfaces that make for smooth progress, completing the drive in just four minutes of actual driving time—though you'll likely want to linger longer to appreciate the rural character of the region. The relaxed pace gives you freedom to enjoy the natural surroundings without constantly monitoring your line or vehicle placement.

Before heading out, basic vehicle maintenance is all the preparation you'll need. Check your tyres and ensure your 4WD is in working order, though Lovers Lane doesn't demand any specialised equipment or recovery gear. The trail's accessibility makes it an excellent confidence-builder for newer off-road drivers, and you can track your progress using the Newtracs app to record your drive.
