Bunton Bridge Track 1

If you're seeking the ultimate test of your 4WD's capability, Bunton Bridge Track 1 delivers an adrenaline-pumping challenge near Walhalla that demands precision, skill, and nerves of steel. This extreme 1.7 km route features a punishing 24% grade that will have you gripping the wheel as your vehicle climbs or descends one of Victoria's most formidable off-road obstacles. You'll navigate rocky terrain that rewards smooth throttle control and proper line selection, with every meter presenting fresh technical demands.

The stunning mountain backdrop of the Walhalla region provides a dramatic contrast to the raw intensity of the driving experience. You'll encounter unforgiving loose surfaces, exposed rock formations, and narrow sections where vehicle placement is absolutely critical. The scenery is breathtaking, but your focus will be entirely on maintaining traction and momentum through sections that punish hesitation or overconfidence.
