Porter Street

You'll discover an intriguing micro-trail near Sherlock that offers a unique opportunity to explore a lesser-known corner of South Australia's outback terrain. Porter Street presents an unconventional challenge—not for its technical difficulty, but for what it represents: a genuine off-road experience in a remote location where few vehicles have ventured. The minimal grade and short distance make this accessible to all skill levels, allowing you to focus on navigation and terrain awareness rather than wrestling with extreme obstacles.

The landscape around Porter Street reflects the characteristic Australian bushland, with sparse vegetation and open ground typical of the Sherlock region. You'll appreciate the solitude and sense of discovery that comes with exploring unrated trails that haven't been heavily trafficked. While the 0.1 km length means this isn't a full-day expedition, it serves as an excellent waypoint for longer regional adventures or a chance to test your vehicle's capabilities on genuine outback roads.

Before heading out, ensure your 4WD is in good working order and carry essential supplies—water, communication devices, and basic recovery gear are non-negotiable in remote South Australian terrain. Check local conditions, as seasonal weather can affect track accessibility. Using the Newtracs app to log your journey adds to the growing database of trail information, helping build community knowledge about this unrated track.
