Second Avenue

Second Avenue offers 4WD adventurers a chance to explore the remote outback landscape near Maralinga Tjarutja, where few vehicles venture. This 11.3 km route takes you through authentic Australian desert terrain, presenting an excellent opportunity to test your navigation skills and vehicle capability in a challenging, isolated environment. You'll encounter varied ground conditions typical of South Australian outback country, requiring steady vehicle control and situational awareness throughout your journey.

The driving experience here is defined by genuine remoteness—you're navigating through country that remains largely untouched by standard traffic. You should come well-prepared with extra water, fuel, and supplies, as help is distant in this region. Check weather conditions carefully before heading out, as outback conditions can change rapidly and impact trail accessibility. Your vehicle should be in top mechanical condition, and carrying recovery equipment is strongly recommended given the trail's isolated nature and lack of established facilities.

This trail appeals to experienced off-roaders seeking authentic outback driving without heavily trafficked conditions. Using the Newtracs app, you can track your GPS location throughout the route, helping you stay oriented in this expansive landscape. The experience here is about self-reliance and genuine adventure in one of Australia's most remote regions.
