Jinglemoney Fire Trail

The Jinglemoney Fire Trail offers 4WD enthusiasts an accessible introduction to off-road driving near Bombay, with just enough challenge to keep things interesting without overwhelming beginners. You'll traverse a well-maintained fire trail that winds through classic New South Wales bushland, encountering a mix of graded sections and natural terrain that showcases the region's rugged character. The 7-kilometre route delivers genuine off-road experience in a compact package, perfect for those looking to build confidence behind the wheel.

What makes this trail special is its balance of accessibility and authentic bush driving. You'll navigate gentle grades—the maximum 4% slope keeps things manageable—while still engaging with proper off-road conditions that demand respect and attention. The surrounding bushland provides pleasant scenery as you work through the trail, and the straightforward routing means you can focus on technique rather than navigation.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition and carry water and basic recovery gear. While the easy rating makes this suitable for relatively inexperienced drivers, standard off-road precautions apply. Check weather conditions beforehand, as fire trails can become slippery when wet. The estimated 29-minute completion time assumes steady progress, but take your time to enjoy the drive and build your skills. Track your adventure using the Newtracs app to log your completion.
