The Fastest Gravel Road Near Melbourne

If you’re chasing that perfect gravel downhill, Violet Town in the Strathbogie Shire might just be your next gravel riding destination. Today’s ride takes on some picturesque gravel roads, steep climbs and flowing descents, that makes the blood, sweat and tears worth it.

The Strathbogies are just a couple hours north of the city, this area dishes out everything from tough fire roads to buttery-smooth descents that’ll have you grinning like a kookaburra at sunrise. And when you finally roll back into town, the local café Jackson's Produce Store & Cafe will sort you right out.

Beyond the gravel, the Strathbogie Shire is on Taungurung Country, and known as the Horse Capital of Victoria, and the famous Black Caviar in nearby Nagambie, the champion mare is the fastest horse in the world, undefeated in all her 25 races.

So grab your steed and pack your cargo bibs with sugar cubes.
