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
Unsealed gravel and dirt sections through remote Victorian High Country make higher clearance strongly advisable, especially after rain when tracks become muddy and slippery. Check road conditions with Parks Victoria before departure, carry a spare tyre, and allow extra travel time for the mountain terrain.
