Old Andado Track (Binns Track)

Experience the rugged charm of the Northern Territory on the Old Andado Track, a classic 4WD route that rewards drivers with authentic outback adventure near Ghan. This 26.6 km journey blends accessible terrain with genuine off-road challenges, making it ideal for intermediate drivers seeking to test their skills without requiring specialist equipment. You'll navigate through stunning remote landscape where the raw beauty of central Australia unfolds around every bend.

The trail's defining feature is its river crossings, which demand careful driving technique and add an exciting dimension to your journey. Water levels can vary seasonally, so timing your visit appropriately is essential—check current conditions before heading out. Beyond these water obstacles, you'll find well-defined tracks through scrubby vegetation and open terrain that showcase the region's distinctive character. The lack of steep grades means you can focus on line selection and obstacle avoidance rather than extreme climbing.

Allocate around 39 minutes for completion, though you'll likely want to explore and photograph the dramatic landscape. Before setting out, ensure your vehicle is properly equipped with recovery gear and sufficient fuel and water supplies. The remote location means help isn't immediately available, so self-sufficiency is crucial.
