Dusty'S Track

Dusty's Track is an unforgiving test of nerve and machine that separates serious 4WD operators from casual weekend warriors. Near Yalwal in New South Wales, this extreme short-course packs genuine challenge into just 300 metres, demanding absolute precision and commitment from behind the wheel. You'll encounter a brutal 25% grade that climbs relentlessly, with loose, rutted terrain that offers minimal traction and zero margin for error.

This isn't a scenic drive—it's a technical gauntlet where vehicle control and driver skill matter more than horsepower. You'll need more than just determination; a winch is essential equipment here, not optional backup. The steep, shifting surface means momentum is both your ally and your enemy, and a single mistake can leave you stranded on an unforgiving slope. Only three vehicles have successfully conquered Dusty's Track, and each completion typically takes around seven minutes of intense, focused driving.

Before attempting this trail, ensure your vehicle is in peak mechanical condition, carry a winch and proper recovery equipment, and honestly assess your own driving ability. This is extreme terrain that demands respect. Track your run on the Newtracs app to log your achievement among an elite few who've mastered this punishing piece of NSW off-road driving.
