Murray Track

River crossings make the Murray Track a refreshing challenge for 4WD enthusiasts seeking variety without extreme technical difficulty. Near Burramine, Victoria, this medium-grade trail delivers an engaging driving experience that rewards careful navigation and vehicle control. You'll encounter multiple water crossings that demand respect and proper technique—water depth and flow conditions can vary seasonally, so checking current conditions before departure is essential.

The 1.8 km route winds through attractive bushland terrain with consistent grades that keep things interesting without overwhelming newer off-roaders. You'll appreciate the relatively quick 4-minute completion time, which makes this ideal for combining with other local trails or practicing your river-crossing skills multiple times in one outing. The absence of steep grades means your focus stays on precision driving through wet sections rather than wrestling with extreme angles.

Before tackling the Murray Track, ensure your vehicle has adequate ground clearance and functioning diff locks if available. Check your recovery gear, as water crossings always carry unpredictability. The five previous vehicle completions logged on Newtracs demonstrate this trail's feasibility for properly equipped rigs, giving you confidence that thoughtful preparation will see you through. Bring extra recovery equipment and consider traveling with another vehicle for water crossing attempts—it's the smart way to enjoy this scenic medium-difficulty gem.
