Silver Ridge Track (4wd)

Silver Ridge Track delivers a rewarding blend of technical driving and scenic Victorian high country experience that'll test your 4WD skills without overwhelming beginners. This medium-difficulty trail near Gentle Annie offers a perfect sweet spot for drivers looking to progress beyond easy tracks while building confidence on varied terrain.

You'll navigate 4 kilometres of diverse driving conditions, including rocky sections, rutted passages, and steep grades that reach 10% in places—so you'll need good vehicle control and steady throttle management. The trail's mixed terrain demands your attention throughout, and the ridge-top sections reward your concentration with excellent panoramic views across the surrounding landscape. Weather conditions can dramatically affect track conditions here, so check forecasts before departing and ensure your vehicle's in top mechanical order.

Come prepared with recovery gear, adequate water, and a full fuel tank. The 32-minute average completion time assumes steady, cautious driving; don't rush these sections. Only five vehicles have successfully completed this track, making it a less-travelled option that feels more remote than busier routes. You should carry the Newtracs app offline maps to navigate with confidence in areas with patchy signal coverage.
