Donohughes Lane

Donohughes Lane offers 4WD enthusiasts a chance to explore the rugged backcountry near Stewart Range, South Australia. This 1.9 km route takes you through remote terrain that showcases the raw beauty of South Australia's outback landscape. You'll navigate through varied ground conditions that will test your vehicle's capabilities while providing an authentic off-road experience away from heavily trafficked routes.

The driving experience here is intimate and exploratory, with the relatively short distance allowing you to focus on the technical aspects of off-roading rather than endurance. You should come prepared for variable terrain and unpredictable ground conditions typical of unrated trails in this region. Bring adequate water, fuel, and recovery gear—isolation means help isn't nearby if something goes wrong. A well-maintained 4WD vehicle is essential, and consider bringing a recovery kit, spare tyres, and communication devices.

While the trail presents no extreme steep grades, don't let that fool you into complacency. The Stewart Range area demands respect and careful vehicle handling.
