Cable Haul Highway

Cable Haul Highway offers 4WD adventurers an authentic outback experience in remote Western Australia near Plumridge Lakes. This 180.6 km route takes you through genuine backcountry terrain where you'll encounter the raw beauty of the Australian interior—vast open spaces, sparse vegetation, and landscapes that demand respect and preparation. The driving experience combines steady navigation through variable terrain with the satisfaction of exploring one of Australia's least-travelled corridors.

You'll need to come prepared for remote driving conditions. Ensure your vehicle is well-maintained and carry essential supplies including water, fuel, and recovery gear, as services and assistance are sparse in this isolated region. The terrain varies throughout the journey, presenting different challenges that will test your 4WD skills and decision-making. Weather conditions can change rapidly, so check forecasts before departure and be ready to adjust your plans accordingly.

This trail rewards those seeking solitude and genuine adventure over heavily trafficked routes. The lack of previous trail documentation means you're charting your own path through stunning outback country. Track your journey using the Newtracs app to record your experience and contribute to the community's knowledge of this remarkable route. Cable Haul Highway is ideal for experienced off-roaders who value exploration, self-reliance, and the true spirit of 4WD touring.
