Fireline Number Two Track

If you're seeking a genuine test of your 4WD's climbing ability without committing to a full day expedition, Fireline Number Two Track delivers exactly that. Located near Eildon in Victoria, this short but punchy 1.1 km trail packs serious gradient into a compact package, with a demanding 37% steep grade that'll have you working the throttle and concentrating hard on line choice.

You'll find yourself navigating terrain that demands respect and precision.
