Rifle Range Track

If you're seeking an accessible introduction to off-road driving near the Flinders Ranges, the Rifle Range Track delivers an excellent opportunity to build confidence behind the wheel. You'll navigate a well-maintained 14.3 km route that combines genuine 4WD terrain with a relaxed pace—perfect for drivers wanting to experience vehicle control without extreme technical challenges.

The track takes you through the rugged landscape characteristic of South Australia's inland regions, where red earth and sparse vegetation create distinctive scenery. You'll encounter corrugated sections and gentle undulations that keep things interesting, while the flat grade profile means you can focus on line selection and throttle control rather than managing steep descents. The drive typically takes around 55 minutes, allowing time to enjoy the surroundings and stop for photos if the mood strikes.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good condition—tyres, fluids, and brakes deserve attention on any unpaved track. Bring water, sun protection, and basic recovery gear, as mobile reception can be patchy in this region. Using the Newtracs app to track your progress will help you stay oriented and make the most of this straightforward yet rewarding journey through South Australian outback country.
