Welch'S Road

Welch's Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a quick but intriguing detour near the District of Kowen, perfect for those exploring the New South Wales backcountry. This short 0.4 km route provides an opportunity to test your vehicle's capabilities on terrain that rewards careful driving despite its modest length. The gentle grades mean you won't be wrestling with extreme angles, but the relatively untrafficked nature of this track means you should approach it with due caution and awareness.

You'll find the scenery typical of the Kowen district, with native bushland and open spaces characterizing the landscape. The short completion time makes this an ideal addition to a longer day of exploring the region's network of 4WD routes. Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good working order and carry essential supplies—even short tracks in remote areas demand respect and preparation.

The unrated status and lack of recorded traffic history mean you're potentially venturing where few have recently traveled. This adds an element of discovery to your journey, though it also reinforces the importance of carrying recovery gear and letting someone know your planned route.
