You'll discover a remote desert crossing that challenges your navigation skills as much as your vehicle's capability. The Voakes Hill Corner to Cook Road trail cuts through the arid landscape near Maralinga Tjarutja, offering an authentic outback experience for 4WD adventurers seeking something off the beaten path. This 2.1 km route showcases the raw, unforgiving terrain of South Australia's interior, where vast open spaces and sparse vegetation characterize the driving environment.
The trail presents relatively gentle grades, making it accessible for drivers with solid off-road experience, though the remote location demands thorough preparation. You should expect variable track conditions typical of lesser-used outback routes—potentially rough surfaces, sand patches, and ruts that require careful line selection. The scenery captures the stark beauty of the region, with sweeping vistas across semi-arid country that few travelers experience. Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is well-maintained with adequate fuel, water, and recovery equipment, as assistance is distant in this isolated corner of Australia.
This trail remains unrated and undocumented by previous Newtracs users, meaning you'll be pioneering the route and contributing valuable data to the community. Your experience will help establish conditions for future travelers. The complete solitude and sense of exploration make this an unforgettable adventure for serious off-road enthusiasts willing to venture into remote territory.
