Covering a total of 261.4km of track, this guide from Outback Travellers takes four wheel drivers deep into the Otway Range, a lush pocket of forest and bushland in Victoria that has drawn off road enthusiasts for decades. Combining photography, detailed track notes and mapping, it works as a companion to sheet maps, giving a closer, more practical look at what's out there, where to find it and how to tackle it safely.

While the tracks aren't as demanding as they once were, routes such as Denhams, Cowley and Harvey still offer plenty of enjoyable four wheel driving. The Otway Range's proximity to towns including Anglesea, Aireys Inlet, Lorne, Apollo Bay and Colac makes it an easy area to base a trip around, and the network of major roads crossing the range provides access to all the tracks covered, gates permitting.

Expect dense fern trees, eucalypts and undergrowth threaded through with creeks, rivers and waterfalls, offering weeks worth of exploration for those willing to get off the beaten path.
