Schmidt Road

Schmidt Road offers 4WD drivers a chance to explore the quiet outback near Eurelia, where you'll discover authentic South Australian backcountry driving without the crowds of more popular routes. This 2.7 km trail takes you through countryside that rewards exploration, with a mix of track conditions that keep your driving engaged throughout the short distance.

The landscape around Eurelia provides wide-open views typical of South Australia's rural character, and you should take time to appreciate the local environment as you make your way through. While the grade is minimal, typical outback conditions mean you should check for recent weather impacts on the track—heavy rain can affect track quality in regional South Australia, so timing your visit during drier periods is advisable.
