Other 4WD touring routes

Discover seven of Victoria's best four wheel driving tracks at Victoria's Iconic 4WD Adventures. The routes covered are:

Planning your 4WD adventure

During winter, some tracks throughout the state are closed to prevent damage due to wet conditions. It is always advisable to check whether tracks are open before planning a trip by contacting Parks Victoria. It's also advisable to carry recovery gear, especially in remote locations and on sandy or wet tracks, and to obtain a detailed map of the area to which you are planning to travel.

A four wheel drive track classification system has been developed jointly by government departments and four wheel drive groups. It is a four-level, colour-coded system alerting drivers to the degree of difficulty that can be expected on individual tracks, thus allowing the driver to decide whether they are equipped to tackle the track before setting out on it. View the 4WD Recreational Track Classification guide.

Organised 4WD tours

If you don't own a four wheel drive vehicle, or if you're not confident about travelling on your own, it is still possible to enjoy some of Victoria's off-road tracks by going on a guided tour. Personalised passenger tours and tag-along tours (where you take your own vehicle but travel with a group) are available.
