Heart Stopping Fun

Billy Goat Bluff 4WD Track in the High Country is not for the faint hearted, inexperienced or unprepared 4WD. Be warned this is one of the steepest 4WD tracks in Victoria. But for any prepared 4WD, the views, descents and drive are spectacular! A great accomplishment and feat to conquer.

The Billy Goat Bluff trail provides a great challenge and drive with rewarding views. When we say this track is steep, we mean it. With 1200m descent in 7kms. Not easy downhill, the track contains many rock steps with very narrow sections of track.

Spectacular Views

The Pinnacles

You should take time out at the Pinnacles Fire Tower (a short detour off the road) to enjoy the spectacular views over the remote country around you. This tower will be manned during the summer fire season.
