This easy 3.7 km track offers a gentle introduction to 4WD travel, with no steep grades to challenge novice drivers or those wanting a leisurely drive.

You'll find yourself navigating well-formed terrain that winds through the characteristic South Australian landscape surrounding the Gawler Ranges. The relatively flat nature of this track means you can focus on enjoying the scenery rather than wrestling with technical driving challenges. The journey takes approximately 9 minutes, making it ideal for accessing the Chillunie Campground or as a short exploratory drive when you have limited time.

While the track is straightforward, you should come prepared with basic supplies and ensure your vehicle is in good working order before heading out.
