Monument Lane

Monument Lane offers 4WD enthusiasts a chance to explore a relatively untouched route through rural Victoria's countryside near Whorouly South. This 2-kilometre trail captures the essence of backcountry driving without extreme technical challenges, making it an excellent option for those building their off-road experience or seeking a leisurely weekend adventure. You'll navigate through mixed terrain that showcases the region's pastoral character, with opportunities to discover local landmarks and quieter back roads away from main highways.

The driving experience is straightforward and accessible, with gentle grades that won't tax your vehicle's capabilities. You'll encounter a mix of dirt and formed track surfaces typical of agricultural areas, offering good traction in most conditions. The surrounding landscape provides pleasant scenery as you progress through the 2-kilometre route, with open fields and tree-lined sections creating variety throughout your drive.

Before heading out, prepare for variable ground conditions—recent rainfall can affect track quality in Victoria's high country regions. Check your vehicle's fuel and water supplies, as services are limited in this remote area. While this trail presents minimal technical difficulty, standard 4WD precautions apply: bring recovery gear, inform someone of your route, and consider downloading the Newtracs app to track your location and ensure you stay on course through the quieter back roads.
