Sandy Road

Sandy Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a perfect introduction to off-road driving near Binya, NSW. You'll experience the satisfying challenge of navigating sandy terrain without the intimidation factor of more technical trails. The 1.3 km route takes you through genuinely sandy country where you can feel your vehicle working through the surface, building confidence and developing essential sand-driving techniques.
