Binns Track

The Binns Track offers 4WD enthusiasts a rewarding medium-difficulty adventure through the remote landscapes near Sandover in the Northern Territory. You'll navigate 17.5 kilometres of varied terrain that delivers an authentic off-road experience without extreme technical demands, making it ideal for drivers building their skills or those seeking a more relaxed expedition through Australia's rugged outback.

Your journey along this track will take you through classic NT bushland scenery, with the highlight being multiple river crossings that test your vehicle handling and water fording ability. The relatively flat grade means you can focus on line selection and obstacle negotiation rather than steep climbs, allowing you to enjoy the surrounding landscape and wildlife opportunities. The crossings are manageable in a capable 4WD, but water levels can vary seasonally, so check local conditions before heading out.

Preparation is straightforward for this trail—ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition, carry extra water and recovery gear, and consider bringing a satellite communicator given the remote location. You'll complete the track in around 21 minutes of active driving, though most adventurers spend considerably longer exploring and photographing. With only one vehicle recorded on Newtracs so far, you'll experience genuine solitude in this beautiful corner of the Territory, making Binns Track a genuine hidden gem for those willing to venture off the beaten path.
