Old Cooma Road

Old Cooma Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a chance to explore a historic route near Bombala, connecting you with the region's colonial heritage while testing your vehicle on genuine off-road terrain. This 1-kilometre track follows a path steeped in local history, where you'll navigate through natural bushland that characterizes the southern Victoria landscape. The gentle grades mean you can focus on line selection and vehicle handling rather than extreme technical challenges, making it an ideal addition to a broader exploration of the area's network of trails.

You'll find the driving experience rewarding despite the modest length, with the surrounding scenery providing insight into the landscape that settlers once traversed. The terrain is manageable for vehicles of varying capability levels, though you should still ensure your 4WD is in good working order and carry essential recovery equipment—isolation and distance from services mean preparation is key. The lack of steep sections doesn't diminish the trail's appeal; instead, it allows you to appreciate the quieter aspects of off-road driving and the natural environment you're passing through.
