The Bike Track

You'll discover a hidden gem near the District of Stromlo that offers 4WD enthusiasts a unique opportunity to explore a compact but intriguing off-road route. Despite its modest 0.2 km length, The Bike Track provides an accessible introduction to off-road driving in the New South Wales region, making it perfect for those new to 4WD adventures or looking for a quick detour during a longer expedition.

The terrain here is forgiving, with a 0% steep grade that ensures you won't face challenging elevation changes. You'll navigate through locally familiar terrain that showcases the natural landscape characteristic of the Stromlo district. The driving experience is straightforward and manageable, allowing you to focus on vehicle handling fundamentals without the stress of severe obstacles or technical sections.

Before heading out, note that this trail remains unrated and largely untested by the 4WD community on Newtracs, so you'll want to scout conditions ahead of time and ensure your vehicle is in good working order. The short distance means you can complete this route quickly, but don't let that fool you into skipping basic preparation—bring water, a basic recovery kit, and let someone know your route. This is an excellent opportunity to help build the Newtracs community database by sharing your experience and trail conditions after your visit.
