Year-round
Okay, buckle up, thrill-seekers! Trig Track in Victoria, Australia, is calling your name... if you're brave enough. This isn't your average Sunday drive, folks. We're talking serious 4WD territory.
Clocking in at around 5.5 km between Walhalla Road and One Speck Track, this unpaved rollercoaster is a wild ride of loose ruts and seriously bumpy terrain. Forget the family sedan; you'll need some serious off-road cred and a vehicle to match. Oh, and did I mention you'll be fording the Aberfeldy River?
Reaching a peak elevation of 887m, Trig Track serves up some stunning views... if you can take your eyes off the road for a second! But be warned, it's closed from June to November, and even when it's open, wet weather turns the danger dial way up.
The craziest part? Twelve hairpin switchbacks so tight, you'll be doing multi-point turns and essentially reversing uphill in sections. It’s like an amusement park ride meets a driving test from hell! Seriously, it's a surreal, unforgettable experience.

moderateThe track to Mount Terrible: low range and high clearance required
🇦🇺 Australia
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! Deep in the Victorian High Country of Australia, just southwest of Kevington, lies Mount Terrible. And trust me, the name isn't kidding around. We're talking about a 24.3km (15-mile) trek to 1,305m (4,281ft) of pure, unadulterated Aussie bush. Forget smooth asphalt; this is Mt Terrible Track, a totally unpaved, rough, and rocky ride through the Mount Terrible Natural Features and Scenic Reserve. Think scrabbly sections, steep climbs, rocks, and ditches galore. This isn't a Sunday drive, folks. You'll need a 4x4 beast with great tires, low range, high clearance, and a driver who knows how to pick the right lines. The Great Dividing Range throws everything it has at you, including potential closures from July to late October due to snow. Yep, this track gets rocky AND snowy in winter! But the reward? Stunning views from the summit, home to a fire lookout tower (circa 1962) and a comms tower. It's an epic High Country adventure!

🌍 Tasmania
Okay, so you HAVE to check out the B68 in Tasmania! Seriously, the views alone are worth the trip.

Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife and just soak in that incredible Tasmanian scenery.
moderateAsses Ears Road is a Most Tricky Scenic Drive in Grampians NP
🇦🇺 Australia
Okay, picture this: Asses Ears Road in western Victoria, Australia. Seriously, that's the name! Tucked away in the Grampians National Park, this isn't your average Sunday drive. Forget the pavement because you'll be kicking up dust on this unsealed 4x4 track. At almost 10km long, this east-west adventure stretches from Mt Victory Road to Rosebrook-Glenisla Road, topping out at 339 meters. The views are incredible, but be warned, this old track gets seriously rutted in spots and super slippery, especially around Brim Springs. So, buckle up in your four-wheel drive and get ready for some seriously stunning scenery and a wild ride.
hardWakehurst Parkway is one of Australia's most haunted roads
🇦🇺 Australia
Okay, buckle up, thrill-seekers! You HAVE to check out Wakehurst Parkway, just a stone's throw – about 26 km – from Sydney, hugging those stunning northern beaches. This isn't just any stretch of asphalt; it's a 14.5 km ride into local legend! But fair warning: this road has a seriously spooky rep. Think way more than just a creepy vibe after dark — we're talking a history dark enough to make your skin crawl, with tales of fatal crashes and, allegedly, a favorite spot for disposing of… well, let's just say some *unwanted* items. Locals whisper about the intersection with Warringah Road being the epicenter of the weirdness. The most famous story? A ghostly hitchhiker named "Kelly." Legend says she jumps into cars after midnight, and if you don't tell her to scram, she'll "help" you steer right off the road. People describe her appearing and disappearing, sometimes even claiming she's materialized in the back seat! Whether you believe it or not, Wakehurst Parkway delivers some seriously eerie vibes alongside its views. Drive carefully, and maybe keep an eye on your rearview mirror... just in case.
