Jack & Jill Tracks

You'll discover an intense challenge on Jack & Jill Tracks, where steep gradients test your vehicle's climbing ability and your driving skills in equal measure. Located near Wyong Creek in New South Wales, this short but demanding route packs serious terrain into just 0.3 km, making it an ideal spot to push your 4WD to its limits without committing to a lengthy expedition.

The defining feature here is the punishing 50% grade that dominates the track, demanding excellent vehicle setup and driver experience.

The steep terrain means traction is everything—you'll want quality tyres and good ground clearance to navigate this successfully.

What makes Jack & Jill Tracks worthwhile is the concentrated intensity of the challenge. Despite the quick completion time of around one minute, you'll need to prepare thoroughly before attempting this route. Check your vehicle's mechanical condition, ensure your recovery gear is on hand, and consider attempting it during dry conditions if you're new to steep grades. The track's difficulty rating of 2/4 reflects its technical nature rather than length, making it perfect for intermediate drivers looking to build confidence on steep terrain without overcommitting.
