Boundary Track

If you're seeking a genuine test of your vehicle's climbing ability without committing to a full day expedition, the Boundary Track near Hawkhurst delivers exactly that. This medium-difficulty trail packs serious vertical challenge into just 1.4 kilometres, featuring an impressive 67% grade that will keep you engaged and alert throughout your drive.
