Sawpit Track

You'll discover a short but intriguing slice of off-road history near Koondrook with the Sawpit Track. This compact trail offers a unique opportunity to explore a lesser-known corner of inland New South Wales that few 4WD enthusiasts have documented on Newtracs. Despite its brief 0.2 km length, this track provides an accessible introduction to the region's character, making it ideal for those looking to piece together a broader exploration of the Koondrook area.

The terrain here is relatively forgiving, with no steep grades to challenge your vehicle, allowing you to focus on the local landscape and environment. You'll navigate through country that showcases the eucalyptus woodlands and open grasslands typical of this part of NSW. The gentle conditions make this a good option for drivers wanting to test their vehicle's capability without demanding technical expertise, though you should still ensure your 4WD is in good working order and carry essential supplies.

Being an unrated track with minimal traffic history, you'll want to approach with a spirit of exploration. Check your vehicle before heading out, bring water and basic recovery gear, and consider the local weather conditions—inland NSW can be subject to rapid changes. While short, the Sawpit Track represents the kind of hidden gem that makes off-roading rewarding: a chance to discover places beyond the beaten path and contribute your own experience to the community.
