Billy Goat Bluff Track Ride and Information – Victorian High Country

I’ve ridden Billy Goat Bluff a number of times, my first time was on a 36 degree day in the summer of 2018, my DRZ was fully loaded with camping gear and but the time I reached the bottom my brakes were all most non existent. We’ve taken a Triumph Tiger 800down it in the rain and fog and while we did eventually get down the Triumph had plenty of scars as a reminder of the journey.

Billy Goat Bluff Track is said to be one of the tougher climbs in the high country and having ridden up and down it a number of times, I’d have to agree, I haven’t ridden a tougher fire trail hill climb on an adventure bike than Billy Goat Bluff it is relentless.

In this video I take you on a point of view (unedited) journey from Wonnangatta Road to the top of Billy Goat Bluff Track. The whole ride took about 14 minutes, it is a great way to complete the climb, a 4x4 takes from 1 to 1.5 hours to do the same trip.

Billy Goat Bluff is very steep, hitting a 27% of maximum gradient through some sections, there are rock step-ups that would be about 30 or 40cms high. The steep rocky parts are insane. Starting at Wonnangatta Road, on Crooked River, the ascent is approximately 7 to 9kms long, the variation in length is because there is a top section where it flattens off. So really it is 7 kms of insane climbing with a flatter area at the top. Over this distance the elevation gain is 1249 meters. The average gradient is 11.25 degrees.
