GET YOUR THRILLS ON ONE TREE HILL, ARARAT JAILHOUSE ROCK & HILL CLIMB

Ararat is a city in south-west Victoria about two hundred kilometres (120 mi) west of Melbourne, on the Western Highway. About one hundred km from Ballarat along the Western Freeway. The freeway converting to highway twenty-five km from the city. Has a population of less than ten thousand residents. Located on the Great Dividing Range.


Ararat Jailhouse Rock Festival

Held on the weekend after the long weekend in March. The festival begins on the Friday night with a classic car cruise along Barkly Street in Ararat. The main retail street of the town. Followed by a ticketed Rock 'n' Roll Revival show inside the Town Hall.

Events and live music are on Saturday and Sunday. One such event is the Saturday morning;

Show us your wheels. This event is held in Barkly Street opposite the Town Hall. Open to all types of vehicles and is hosted by Grampians Vintage and Veteran Car Club.


One Tree Hill Climb

The hill climb is held twice per year. A large hill on the fringe of the town. Height of 1,900 feet above sea level. The track length being 1609 metres in length. Held over a weekend in June and November. The event is generally a round of the Victorian Hill Climb Championship. The Hill Climb is free to watch and many of it's entrants come from interstate. Usually onsite BBQ food is available to purchase. The event is frequented by local car and motoring enthusiasts and organised by the Ararat Car Club Inc.

One Tree Hill has a small rotunda at the top and a carpark. The sealed road is rather steep but nice to drive. Not suitable for towed vehicles. Must be thrilling to drive as an entrant in a Hill Climb. Views of Ararat and on the other side of the hill views to the Grampian mountains.
