Burgoyne Track

If you're seeking a genuine test of your vehicle's climbing ability, the Burgoyne Track delivers an intense challenge in a compact package. Near Glenfalloch in Victoria, you'll encounter one of the steepest grades in the region at a punishing 56%, compressed into just 300 metres of track. This is no leisurely Sunday drive—it's a technical ascent that demands precision, momentum management, and genuine 4WD capability.

The terrain here is unforgiving, with the steep gradient dominating your experience from start to finish. You'll need to carefully judge your approach, maintain consistent traction, and stay focused throughout the brief but demanding climb. The reward is genuine—conquering this short burst of extreme terrain provides a real sense of achievement and valuable feedback on your vehicle's performance and your own driving skills in challenging conditions.

Before attempting Burgoyne Track, ensure your vehicle is in top mechanical condition with properly inflated tyres and responsive brakes. Scout the track conditions beforehand, as weather can dramatically affect grip on such steep grades. Have recovery equipment on hand and ideally bring experienced spotters. While the track is short, the intensity means preparation and caution are essential.
