Victoria's High Country gravel road from Mansfield through Woods Point to Marysville, through remote forest and mountain ranges on unsealed roads that venture into country where 4WD clearance is an advantage. The section between Mansfield and Woods Point feels further from civilisation than its distance from Melbourne suggests.

Practical notes
The Mansfield-Jamieson-Woods Point-Cambarville-Marysville line includes remote unsealed mountain road. Check VicTraffic, Mansfield and Murrindindi council notices and Parks Victoria alerts immediately before departure. Confirm surface and seasonal-gate suitability for the vehicle, avoid heavy rain and fire-danger days, travel in daylight, and carry a full-size spare, recovery gear, offline mapping and satellite communication; there may be no rapid roadside assistance.
