This 1.6 km route presents an excellent opportunity to test your vehicle's capabilities without committing to a lengthy expedition, making it ideal for those looking to squeeze in a quick adventure or introduce passengers to off-road driving.

The terrain along Keef's Road delivers a mix of natural obstacles and varied ground conditions typical of the NSW outback. You'll navigate through sections that challenge your line-finding skills and vehicle control, with the landscape offering quintessential Australian bushland scenery. The gentle grade means you won't be fighting steep climbs, allowing you to focus on negotiating obstacles and enjoying the drive rather than managing extreme angles.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good working order with adequate fuel and recovery equipment on hand.
