Four-wheel driving – Gippsland

Gippsland is a great four-wheel driving destination with many challenging unsealed roads and tracks throughout its forests, fern gullies and mountain ranges.

The Alpine National Park and the surrounding high country are popular for spectacular scenery and challenging terrain as is Mt Baw Baw National Park near Walhalla. The legendary Wonnangatta Station tour and the Dargo/Grant diggings are famous Victorian four-wheel driving tours.

Many roads and tracks in parks and forests in Gippsland are closed to the public during the wetter months of the year (usually between June and November) so contact Parks Victoria or a local four-wheel drive club to find out track closures and conditions. For maximum safety and fun, hire an experienced guide to take you through some of the more remote and less frequently traveled tracks.
