Millewa River Road

River crossings combined with easy terrain make Millewa River Road a fantastic introduction to water-based 4WD driving near Bullatale. You'll experience the thrill of navigating multiple water obstacles without the technical difficulty that typically demands advanced skills, making this an ideal trail for developing your crossing techniques in a forgiving environment.

The 6.9-kilometre route takes you through scenic countryside with a completely flat grade, meaning you can focus entirely on line selection and water depth assessment rather than managing steep descents or climbs. The terrain itself is straightforward, allowing you to concentrate on your vehicle's behaviour through the water sections—the true highlight of this trail. You'll complete the entire route in around nine minutes of driving time, though most enthusiasts spend longer enjoying the experience and perfecting their crossing angles.

Before heading out, check water levels and recent rainfall, as flow rates can affect crossing difficulty despite the trail's overall easy rating. Bring basic recovery equipment and ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition, with proper tyre pressure adjustment for the conditions. The Newtracs app provides trail tracking to help you navigate with confidence while you focus on the water crossings ahead.
