The Bridle Track

You'll discover authentic outback character on The Bridle Track near Bruinbun, where you can experience remote New South Wales backcountry driving away from the crowds. This lightly-trafficked route offers a genuine off-road adventure that appeals to 4WD enthusiasts seeking quieter alternatives to heavily-traveled paths. With 43 vehicles having completed the trail, you're joining a small community of explorers who appreciate hidden gems in Australia's interior.

The terrain invites you to engage your vehicle's capabilities while traversing varied landscape characteristic of inland NSW. You'll navigate through authentic bush country where the driving experience rewards smooth throttle control and measured navigation. The gradual grades mean you can focus on line selection and terrain reading rather than extreme technical challenges, making this accessible for intermediate drivers seeking to build confidence in remote settings.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is well-maintained and carry adequate water and supplies—help isn't nearby in this isolated region. Check weather conditions and carry a GPS device, as navigation support is essential in remote areas without clear signage. The Newtracs app can help you track your journey and share your experience with the community once you've completed this rewarding slice of outback driving.
