Big Rock Road

Big Rock Road offers 4WD drivers a relaxed introduction to off-road exploration near Bodalla, with gentle terrain that's perfect for those building confidence behind the wheel. You'll navigate a straightforward 3.3 km route that showcases the coastal hinterland's natural beauty without demanding technical skill or aggressive driving.
