Fir Tree Track

You'll discover why Fir Tree Track has earned its reputation as a rewarding medium-difficulty challenge near Three Bridges. This 3km route delivers an engaging blend of technical driving and natural beauty, with enough variety to keep your attention throughout the 13-minute run. The trail's 7% average grade provides genuine climbing without becoming overwhelming, making it ideal for drivers looking to build confidence on something more demanding than beginner terrain.

As you progress, you'll navigate through mixed forest scenery that justifies the track's name, with towering firs creating a scenic backdrop to your drive. The terrain alternates between formed track sections and rougher ground that demands careful line choice and steady throttle control. Your vehicle's articulation will be tested on several moderate obstacles, while the consistent gradient means maintaining momentum is key to smooth progress.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition and check tyre pressure for optimal traction. While the track is well-established—27 vehicles have successfully completed it—bring recovery gear and adequate water. The medium difficulty rating reflects genuine challenges rather than casual cruising, so approach sections deliberately rather than rushing. Checking the Newtracs app before departure helps you familiarize yourself with the track layout and current conditions.
