Nine Mile Extension

You'll discover a compelling backcountry route near Broken Hill that rewards explorers with remote outback character and genuine solitude. The Nine Mile Extension offers 3.4 kilometres of off-road driving through classic Australian bushland, where you can escape the well-travelled routes and experience the landscape that makes outback exploration so captivating. This trail takes you away from civilisation into terrain that challenges your navigation skills and pushes you to truly engage with the environment.

The driving experience here is straightforward without technical demands—flat grades mean you won't wrestle with steep descents or gruelling climbs. Instead, you'll focus on reading the track conditions and maintaining your line through varying terrain. The scenery evolves as you progress, offering glimpses of native vegetation and authentic outback vistas that showcase why this region captures adventurers' imaginations. Wildlife sightings are possible, adding to the sense of discovery.

Before heading out, come prepared with adequate water, fuel, and recovery gear—remoteness means self-sufficiency is essential. Check your vehicle's condition thoroughly and carry communication devices, as you'll be well away from mobile coverage. The trail remains largely untracked by the Newtracs community, making it an opportunity to contribute your own experience and help future adventurers discover what awaits here.
