Hollie Track

If you're seeking a genuine test of your vehicle's climbing ability without committing to a full-day epic, the Hollie Track delivers an impressive challenge in a compact package. This 2.4 km trail near Wentworth punches well above its weight, featuring a brutal 32% grade that'll have you working the throttle and testing your suspension setup in under 10 minutes of driving time.

You'll find yourself navigating steep, rocky terrain that demands respect and precision. The track's unforgiving gradient means momentum and line choice are everything—hesitation here costs you traction. While the scenery won't distract you with beauty, the raw satisfaction of conquering this short, sharp ascent makes it a favorite among locals who've logged 18 successful runs. The terrain is predominantly loose and rutted, so you'll need good ground clearance and a vehicle with genuine low-range capability.

Before you attempt Hollie Track, ensure your 4WD is in top condition—check your differentials, suspension, and brakes thoroughly. The steep grade offers little forgiveness for mechanical failure, and recovery from this section would be challenging. Tackle it in dry conditions if possible; wet weather transforms the gradient into a genuine hazard. Time your run for daylight hours and bring a mate. This medium-difficulty trail proves that length doesn't determine difficulty—Hollie Track is proof that sometimes, short and steep delivers the best adrenaline rush.
