Drury Lane

Drury Lane presents a thrilling technical challenge that demands respect and precision from even the most experienced 4WD drivers. Near Dooralong, this extreme trail compresses serious obstacle negotiation into just 0.8 km, making every meter count as you navigate complex terrain that has tested only nine vehicles to date.

You'll encounter relentless rock gardens and steep rocky sections that require careful line selection and expert vehicle control. The narrow corridor forces you to make split-second decisions about wheel placement while managing deep ruts and jagged obstacles that can catch unsuspecting tyres. Winch recovery points are essential—breakdowns here mean serious complications in an isolated setting. You should carry full recovery gear, communication devices, and a spotter who understands extreme terrain.

The natural woodland setting offers little respite from the driving intensity. Expect sharp turns between rock formations, hidden drop-offs, and sections where ground clearance becomes critical. Completion times hover around 16 minutes for those who navigate cleanly, but vehicle damage or recovery attempts extend this significantly. Before attempting Drury Lane, ensure your 4WD is extensively modified with upgraded suspension, skid plates, and aggressive tyres. This is genuinely extreme terrain—come prepared or don't come at all. Using the Newtracs app to review trail conditions and connect with experienced local drivers beforehand could prove invaluable.
