New Section Access Track

You'll discover why the New Section Access Track near The Glen has earned its hard rating the moment you hit the first technical section—this isn't a leisurely cruise, but a genuine test of your 4WD's capabilities and your driving skills. The 3.2 km route winds through challenging terrain that demands precision, with rocky outcrops, deep ruts, and narrow passages that'll keep you focused throughout the 21-minute journey. The scenery shifts between dense bushland and open sections, rewarding your concentration with glimpses of Queensland's rugged landscape.

The driving experience here is raw and unforgiving. You'll encounter loose surfaces, hidden obstacles beneath overhanging vegetation, and several tight spots where vehicle placement is critical. Water crossings and erosion damage mean conditions can change seasonally, so checking the latest intel via the Newtracs app before heading out is essential. Ensure your vehicle is in top mechanical condition, carry recovery gear, and bring a mate—this track has humbled seventeen vehicles already, and you'll appreciate having another set of eyes spotting lines through the trickier sections.

Preparation is non-negotiable. Pack extra water, a first aid kit, and ensure your communication devices are charged. This trail rewards respect and caution, offering an authentic off-road challenge that separates the casual drivers from those genuinely committed to mastering technical terrain.
