Hart Spur Track

The Hart Spur Track near Wongungarra will test your 4WD skills with some genuinely challenging terrain that keeps experienced drivers engaged. This 4.1 km medium-difficulty track packs a serious punch with its formidable 38% steep grades—the kind of inclines that demand respect, proper vehicle setup, and confident handling. You'll need to manage your descent carefully and ensure your brakes are in excellent condition before tackling this route.

As you navigate the track, you'll experience the rugged Victorian landscape that makes off-road driving so rewarding.
