Best 4x4 tracks near Melbourne

Need a break from footy chat? There are a bunch of great off-road tracks not too far from Melbourne's CBD.

Lerderderg State Park is only 70-odd kilometres away from the city and makes for a great afternoon trip. Stretch your legs a big further and the Otways and Grampians NP make for great weekend destinations. Or for a small taste of the Outback, Victoria's Little Desert National Park - a 1326km² park bordered by the Wimmera River - is located about four hours’ drive west of Melbourne, not far from Dimboola.

We’ve only listed a handful, so let us know of the ones we’ve missed in the comments section below.
