Plonk Gully Track

Plonk Gully Track offers 4WD enthusiasts a perfect introduction to off-road driving near Moormbool West, combining accessibility with genuine bush exploration. You'll navigate a scenic 3.3 km route that winds through open woodland and gully terrain, where you can experience the satisfaction of genuine 4WD driving without the intimidation factor of more challenging trails. The track's gentle gradient and straightforward navigation make it ideal for newer enthusiasts building confidence behind the wheel, while experienced drivers often use it as a warm-up or casual weekend cruise.

The driving experience focuses on simple obstacle negotiation and line choice rather than technical skill, allowing you to concentrate on enjoying the Victorian landscape. You'll encounter occasional rocky sections and natural drainage features that require basic 4WD capability, but nothing that demands specialized recovery equipment. The relatively quick 9-minute completion time means you can run this track multiple times in a session or combine it with other nearby trails. We recommend checking local conditions before heading out, as seasonal weather can affect gully sections, and bringing water and basic recovery gear as standard practice.
