West Street

Venture into the remote outback surrounding Maralinga Tjarutja and discover West Street, a 6.9 km off-road route that promises genuine isolation and authentic desert driving. This unrated trail offers 4WD enthusiasts the chance to explore one of South Australia's most sparsely populated regions, where the vast landscape and minimal traffic create an immersive outback experience away from conventional tourist routes.

You'll navigate terrain characteristic of the inland desert, with a straightforward driving profile that allows you to focus on the stunning scenery around you. The flat grade means you won't face technical climbing challenges, making this route accessible for drivers seeking a leisurely exploration rather than extreme obstacles. However, don't let the relaxed terrain fool you—remote desert driving demands respect and preparation. Ensure your vehicle is well-maintained, carry adequate water and supplies, and consider bringing recovery equipment, as help can be hours away.

The lack of previous recorded traffic on this trail adds to its appeal for adventurous explorers seeking true outback solitude. Before heading out, check weather conditions and inform someone of your route and expected return time.
