Normanby Track

You'll find the Normanby Track a refreshing quick blast through scenic bushland near Mount Richmond, perfect for testing your vehicle's handling on shorter technical sections without committing to a full day expedition. This compact 4WD route delivers genuine driving interest in just 2 minutes, making it ideal for combining with other nearby trails or for drivers wanting to build confidence on varied terrain.

The track winds through native Victoria bush with undulating ground that keeps you engaged despite the brief duration. You'll navigate gentle rises and falls that test your line choice and vehicle control, while the surrounding landscape provides attractive scenery typical of the Mount Richmond region. The track surface varies between compacted earth and rocky sections, requiring steady throttle control and precise steering to maintain momentum without unnecessary wheel spin.

While the Normanby Track's lack of steep grades makes it accessible for intermediate drivers, don't underestimate the importance of proper vehicle preparation. Check your tyre pressures and suspension condition before setting out, as the rockier sections demand good ground clearance and articulation. The trail's short length and popularity with 6 previous drivers via Newtracs means you can confidently tackle this one regardless of experience level. Best approached in dry conditions to maintain good traction through the tighter corners.
