Upper Dogman Track

Challenge yourself on the Upper Dogman Track, a demanding 4WD route that rewards experienced drivers with remote alpine scenery near Cudgewa. This 4.3-kilometre track pushes your vehicle and driving skills to the limit, with steep grades and technical sections that demand full concentration and precision handling. You'll navigate challenging terrain that separates casual weekend warriors from serious off-road enthusiasts, making every successful passage a genuine achievement.

As you progress through this hard-rated track, you'll experience the raw beauty of the New South Wales high country. The landscape transitions through rugged terrain with limited margin for error—tight sections and steep descents mean you'll need to read the track carefully and plan your line well in advance. The 49-minute average completion time reflects the technical nature of the drive rather than distance, so pace yourself and expect to work your vehicle hard.

Before attempting Upper Dogman, ensure your 4WD is in excellent mechanical condition with quality tyres suitable for challenging terrain. Carry recovery equipment, extra water, and a first aid kit—this is remote country where help isn't immediately available. Check current conditions and weather forecasts, as this track becomes significantly more hazardous in wet conditions. Your Newtracs app will provide real-time trail tracking and navigation to keep you oriented in this isolated region.
