Rabbit Patch Track (4wd)

You'll find genuine 4WD challenges on the Rabbit Patch Track, a demanding short route that proves size isn't everything. This hard-rated trail near Toorongo rewards experienced drivers with steep terrain and technical obstacles packed into less than a kilometre of pure off-road action. The 10% grade means you'll need to master weight transfer and precise throttle control as you navigate rocky sections and rutted sections that demand respect.

The landscape here is classic Australian bush—dense vegetation frames a narrow track that feels considerably more intense than its modest length suggests. You'll encounter creek crossings, uneven ground, and sections where vehicle articulation becomes critical. The scenery is rewarding for those willing to focus intensely on driving, with glimpses of the surrounding forest rewarding your concentration once you've conquered the tougher sections.

Before attempting this trail, ensure your vehicle is in top mechanical condition and your recovery gear is secured. Deflate your tyres appropriately for traction, bring extra water and supplies, and ideally have another vehicle available for potential recovery situations. The track's difficulty rating isn't exaggerated—six vehicles have successfully completed it, but preparation and skill are non-negotiable. With proper planning and respect for the terrain, you'll experience the kind of challenging 4WD driving that keeps enthusiasts coming back.
