Top 10 Victorian High Country Tracks
Victoria's High Country is a 4WD paradise. Stretching across the Great Dividing Range, it offers everything from gentle forest cruises to gnarly rock climbs that will test your rig and your nerve.
Here are our top 10 picks:
1. Billy Goats Bluff Track
Difficulty: Hard — Steep, rocky, and narrow with spectacular views from the top. Not for the faint-hearted or the under-prepared.
2. Wonnangatta Valley
Difficulty: Medium — A classic overnight trip through remote valley country. The descent into the valley is steep but manageable with good tyres.

Difficulty: Hard — A steep, technical climb that rewards with panoramic alpine views.
8. Davies Plain Track
Difficulty: Medium — High plains country with open views and historical cattlemen's huts.
