No. 3 Road

You'll discover a remote forest drive near Nannup that offers an authentic off-road experience through Western Australia's timber country. No. 3 Road winds through native bushland where you'll encounter genuine backcountry conditions far from the usual tourist routes. The relatively short 3.6 km route makes it an ideal addition to a day's exploration, allowing you to experience diverse terrain without committing extensive time to travel.

The drive takes you through a mix of sandy forest tracks and rougher sections that demand attention and vehicle control. You'll navigate through native vegetation with limited visibility around some corners, requiring you to stay alert throughout. The varying ground conditions—from compacted earth to softer sandy patches—present the kind of natural obstacles that make off-road driving genuinely rewarding. Tree lines run close to the track in places, so wider vehicles may need careful positioning.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is well-maintained with good ground clearance and appropriate tyres for forest conditions. Carry water, a basic toolkit, and inform someone of your plans. While the terrain isn't extreme, the remote location means help isn't immediately available. Weather can dramatically affect track conditions, particularly after rain when sandy sections become more treacherous. Use the Newtracs app to navigate accurately and stay on-track through this quiet corner of the Western Australian bush.
