Rifle Range Track

You'll find the Rifle Range Track near Murmungee to be a thrilling medium-difficulty challenge that packs serious punch into its compact 2.6 km route. This trail is purpose-built for 4WD drivers seeking genuine technical challenges without requiring a full day's commitment—most runs take just 13 minutes, making it perfect for testing your vehicle's capabilities during a lunch break or weekend session. The standout feature here is the brutal 40% grade that demands respect and precision; you'll need a capable 4WD with good ground clearance and confident driving skills to navigate these steep sections safely.
