Cpt 9/10 Trail

You'll discover why locals cherish the Cpt 9/10 Trail near Collombatti—it's a compact but punchy test of your 4WD's capabilities wrapped in beautiful NSW bushland. This 1.8 km route delivers genuine off-road challenge without consuming your entire day, making it perfect for drivers wanting to hone their skills or squeeze in multiple trails during a regional adventure.

The trail's 13% grade commands your respect, especially if recent rain has softened the surface. You'll navigate steep sections that demand careful throttle control and proper line selection, with rocky outcrops and rutted sections keeping you engaged throughout the seven-minute drive. The surrounding forest provides a scenic backdrop as you work your way through the tighter passages, where technical precision matters more than raw power.

Before tackling this trail, ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition with adequate ground clearance and decent suspension. Check weather conditions—wet weather can significantly increase the difficulty rating. Bring recovery gear and consider having a spotter if you're new to steep grades. With only five vehicles recorded on Newtracs, you'll likely have the trail to yourself, but that also means limited local intel. Use the Newtracs app to review other drivers' experiences and prepare accordingly for the conditions you might encounter.
