Geary Track (4wd Steep)

If you're seeking a genuine test of your 4WD's capabilities and your own nerve, the Geary Track near Gilderoy delivers exactly that. This punishing 1.5 km route boasts an unrelenting 67% grade that demands respect, precision, and a vehicle built for serious terrain. You'll tackle steep ascents and descents that will have your engine working hard and your concentration fully locked in—this isn't a leisurely scenic cruise, it's a legitimate off-road challenge.

The terrain here is unforgiving, with rocky outcrops and deeply rutted sections that test your vehicle's articulation and your line-choice skills. You'll navigate through dense Victorian bushland as you push up the mountain, with limited margin for error on the steeper sections. The driving experience is intense; expect your heart rate to match your engine's RPM as you work through technical obstacles. Completion typically takes around 11 minutes of focused, demanding driving.

Before attempting Geary Track, ensure your 4WD is in excellent mechanical condition with quality tyres and properly functioning brakes—they'll earn their keep on these grades.
