Four Ways Road

Four Ways Road delivers a quick but satisfying 4WD experience near Farringdon, perfect for drivers looking to build confidence on terrain that's forgiving yet engaging. You'll navigate 0.8 km of track that packs a genuine 11% grade into a compact route, giving you a real taste of off-road driving without requiring a full day's commitment. The steep sections demand respect and proper vehicle control, but the easy difficulty rating means you can focus on technique rather than survival.

The landscape around Four Ways Road offers pleasant rural scenery typical of inland NSW, with open views and natural track formation that's been proven by the handful of vehicles that have tackled it before you. You should expect a mix of loose gravel and compacted earth surfaces that'll test your traction and line choice on the steeper pitches. The drive takes around 3 minutes of active driving, but you'll want to take your time, especially if you're less experienced—rushing the grade is where mistakes happen.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition with proper tire pressure for off-road conditions. The 11% grade requires competent braking control on descent, so test your vehicle's engine braking and don't rely solely on friction brakes. Check current track conditions via the Newtracs app before you go, as weather can quickly affect grip on these surfaces.
