Sawpit Track

Sawpit Track offers 4WD enthusiasts an intriguing exploration opportunity near Wirrabara in South Australia's Mid North region. This compact 2.5 km route takes you through terrain that reveals the area's historical logging heritage, with evidence of old sawpit operations still visible along the way. You'll navigate through mixed woodland and open sections that showcase the natural character of the Barossa ranges, making it an excellent addition to a regional touring itinerary.

The driving experience is relatively straightforward, with no steep grades to challenge your vehicle, though the unrated status means conditions may vary seasonally. You should be prepared for potential ruts, fallen branches, and uneven ground typical of lesser-used tracks in this region. The relatively short length makes it ideal for combining with other nearby trails, and you'll want to check local conditions before heading out, as South Australian bush tracks can change with weather. Bring recovery gear as a precaution and ensure your vehicle is in good working order—basic maintenance counts when exploring remote areas.

What makes Sawpit Track particularly rewarding is the sense of discovery; with no recorded vehicle data yet logged on Newtracs, you'll have the opportunity to be among the first to document your experience on this historical route. This is genuine off-road exploration in a beautiful part of South Australia.
