Smile Track suggestions for stock JK - Melbourne area

Hi all,
I'm looking to start getting off road in my stock JK, I haven't driven off road in more years than I care to admit, so am looking for suggestions of nice easy starter tracks, preferably east of Melbourne.

Thanks!

Toolangi would be a good start

There's really only 3-4 bad tracks in Toolangi. Stock jk will be fine considering its not wet.

You can try various tracks at Mt Disappointment. They are not hard for a stock JK.
Mt Strickland near Marysville is ok for a stock JK as well. I just went there today and had a bit of fun.
If it's wet, both of those needs to either be avoid or be very careful.

There are plenty of great small junts within 1.5h of Melbourne. With an "average" difficulty rating, you have:
Anglesea, easy
Cape ottway NP, mostly easy, some moderate (some hard, be careful, particularly in the wet...and it's always wet!)
Wombat SP, easy
Lerderderg, easy
Cobaw, moderate, hard and extreme
Mt Disappointment, easy
Tallarook, moderate (some hard)
Kinglake, easy
Mt Robinson, easy
Toolangi, easy/mod and hard
Wurburton, easy/mod/hard
Bunyip state (save Bullock & Robinsons trk) all easy
Neerim, mod/hard

For a nice cruisy day with the mrs, something like Anglesea over to Lorne is very nice. Bit of fun with the boys, Bunyip would be better.
