Foott Road is a dead end road.  This ones for those that love a sense of adventure and love riding gravel.  It's short, steep & nasty!

Near the top of the climb is an access path to one of Melbourne's greatest MTB parks the Dallas Brooks Scout camp. If you love a good hike or enjoy MTBing come and try it out.

If you're game ford the river with your bike and try out the climb on the other side (Chadwick Road)
