Mill Track

You'll discover why Mill Track is a favourite among Victorian 4WD enthusiasts—it delivers an accessible yet engaging drive through diverse terrain near Jack River. This 0.6 km route offers the perfect introduction to off-road driving without demanding advanced skills, making it ideal for weekend adventurers looking to test their vehicles in a forgiving environment.

As you traverse the track, you'll encounter a mix of compacted earth and rocky sections that keep you engaged behind the wheel. The surrounding bushland provides scenic views typical of the region, while the absence of steep grades means you can focus on line selection and vehicle control rather than fighting gravity. The relatively quick 4-minute completion time shouldn't fool you—there's enough variation in the surface to make this genuinely interesting rather than simply short.

Before heading out, check that your 4WD is in good working order, as rocky sections can be unforgiving on tyres and suspension. The trail's moderate difficulty rating means most stock vehicles will handle it comfortably, though higher ground clearance certainly helps. Track conditions can vary with weather, so consider recent rainfall before committing. Using the Newtracs app to navigate ensures you stay on course and can share your experience with the community of drivers who've already enjoyed this hidden gem.
