Purgatory Trail

You'll find Purgatory Trail perfect for introducing yourself or your passengers to off-road driving without the intimidation factor. This quick 0.7 km route near Possum Brush delivers genuine 4WD enjoyment in bite-sized form, making it ideal for families or those building confidence behind the wheel. The trail's flat terrain and zero steep grades mean you can focus on mastering basic vehicle control and line selection rather than white-knuckling through technical sections.

The drive takes just two minutes, yet you'll experience varied ground conditions that keep things interesting despite the easy rating. The surrounding bushland scenery showcases the natural beauty of inland New South Wales, with native vegetation framing your path as you navigate the trail. You'll encounter different surface types that test your situational awareness without demanding advanced driving skills.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is road-registered and mechanically sound—even easy trails benefit from proper preparation. Bring water and let someone know your plans, as mobile reception can be patchy in rural areas. The Newtracs app will help you stay on track and monitor your progress. With only three previous drivers, you'll get a genuine sense of exploration while maintaining complete safety.
