About Bryant Park Hillclimb
Bryant Park — known to enthusiasts as the Haunted Hills — is a permanent hillclimb venue in Victoria's Latrobe Valley, run by the Gippsland Car Club (established 1964). Widely regarded as one of the finest dedicated hillclimb circuits in Australia, its smooth, wide hot-mix track runs roughly 1,400 metres and can be set up in a range of different configurations, and it has hosted Australian Hillclimb Championships. Beyond timed hillclimb runs, the club holds a full calendar of khanacross, motorkhana and sprint events — low-speed, single-car formats that are a great, accessible way for newcomers and juniors to build car-control skills in a safe, competitive setting.
