The Shotline

The Shotline offers 4WD enthusiasts a genuine outback adventure through one of South Australia's most remote pastoral regions. This 23.4 km route near Calperum Station takes you deep into the semi-arid landscape where you'll navigate authentic bush tracks with minimal development or commercial infrastructure. The terrain demands respect—you'll encounter variable ground conditions typical of working station country, from packed earth sections to rougher stretches that test your vehicle's articulation and ground clearance.

As you traverse The Shotline, the vast red earth plains and sparse vegetation create an immersive outback experience. The landscape rewards those seeking solitude and genuine off-road exploration rather than manicured trails. Wide open vistas punctuate your journey, offering opportunities to appreciate the region's natural character. While the route presents no extreme elevation challenges, the remote nature of this track means you'll need proper preparation: carry adequate water, fuel, and spares, as help is distant and mobile service unreliable. Check local conditions before departure, as seasonal weather can dramatically affect track quality.

This is uncharted territory on the Newtracs platform—no completion data exists yet, making you a potential first to map this route and contribute valuable trail intelligence. Whether you're seeking authentic station country driving or exploring South Australia's hidden tracks, The Shotline delivers a genuine off-road experience.
