Grand Final Spur Track

Grand Final Spur Track delivers a thrilling moderate challenge that'll test your 4WD's climbing ability without overwhelming newer off-road drivers. Near Toolome, Victoria, you'll encounter a punchy 21% grade that demands respect and proper vehicle setup, making this 2.9 km route an excellent training ground for tackling steeper terrain. The track's short length means you can complete it in around seven minutes, but don't let that fool you—those minutes pack genuine excitement.

The driving experience combines tight switchbacks with exposed sideslopes that keep you focused and engaged throughout. You'll navigate rocky sections interspersed with rutted passages where line choice becomes critical. The surrounding landscape offers pleasant rural Victoria scenery, with open vistas from higher sections rewarding your effort. Before attempting Grand Final Spur, ensure your vehicle is in solid mechanical condition with good tire grip and functioning lockers if available. Check weather conditions beforehand, as wet clay becomes treacherous on these grades.

With only 10 previous attempts recorded on Newtracs, you're tackling a genuinely quieter trail where you won't encounter heavy traffic. This makes it perfect for practicing recovery techniques or testing modifications in a relatively controlled environment. Bring recovery gear, extra water, and a spotter if possible. The combination of technical climbing, scenic views, and manageable length makes this spur track an essential addition to any Victorian 4WD enthusiast's logbook.
