Old Binks Track

Old Binks Track delivers an accessible yet engaging 4WD experience near Colbrook, making it perfect for intermediate drivers looking to build their off-road skills without excessive technical demands. This 1.9 km route takes you through classic Victorian bush terrain where you'll navigate a mix of well-defined track sections and tighter forest passages that keep your driving focus sharp. The landscape transitions between open areas and dense tree coverage, offering genuine off-road atmosphere while remaining manageable for vehicles with decent ground clearance and all-wheel drive capability.

The relatively flat gradient means you can concentrate on line choice and vehicle control rather than battling steep descents, though you'll still encounter uneven surfaces and potential ruts that demand respect. You should watch for overhanging branches, especially in the denser sections, and be prepared for occasional boggy spots depending on recent weather—checking conditions via the Newtracs app before heading out is wise. The track's popularity among the 62+ vehicles that have tackled it speaks to its appeal as a confidence-building route that doesn't feel like a stripped-back fire trail.

Plan for around 15 minutes of driving time, but factor in extra time for photo stops and enjoying the bush scenery. Old Binks Track is the kind of accessible adventure that reminds you why 4WDing matters—genuine off-road experience without needing extreme terrain.
