Cherry Tree Road

Cherry Tree Road delivers a genuine challenge for experienced 4WD drivers seeking technical terrain near Monkerai. You'll navigate a consistently steep 5% grade that demands careful line selection and precise vehicle control, testing both your driving skill and your rig's capabilities. The 3.3 km route winds through rugged bushland with varied surface conditions that keep you engaged throughout the entire 1 hour 12 minute run.

The driving experience here is raw and unforgiving. You'll encounter rocky outcrops, rutted sections, and tight vegetation that frame the narrow track, creating an immersive off-road adventure. The steep gradient means momentum management is crucial—too fast and you'll lose control, too slow and you risk bogging down. The scenery is classic New South Wales bushland, with native trees creating a natural tunnel effect as you push deeper into the trail.

Come prepared for the hard rating. Ensure your vehicle is in top mechanical condition, carry recovery gear, and don't attempt this solo. The terrain offers little margin for error, and with only two other vehicles recorded as completing Cherry Tree Road, you'll understand why this isn't a casual weekend drive.
