Moonlight Spur Track

If you're after a genuine test of your 4WD's capabilities in a compact package, the Moonlight Spur Track near Knockwood delivers exactly that. This half-kilometre challenge packs serious terrain into a short distance, with a relentless 42% grade that demands respect and precision from both vehicle and driver. You'll find this is no leisurely cruise—every metre requires your full attention and solid vehicle control.

The concentrated intensity means you'll need to carefully manage traction, momentum, and line choice as you navigate the ascent. Victoria's Knockwood region provides the backdrop, and the track's brevity makes it perfect for back-to-back runs or as a challenging pit stop during a larger exploration session.
