Forders Track

You'll love Forders Track for its perfect introduction to off-roading near Stockdale—a gentle yet satisfying drive that proves you don't need extreme terrain to have genuine fun behind the wheel. This 2.2 km route winds through scenic bushland with varied ground surfaces that will keep you engaged without overwhelming inexperienced drivers or those testing new vehicles.

The track takes you through a mix of graded sections and rougher patches where you'll encounter rocks, ruts, and the occasional water crossing depending on recent rainfall. The landscape opens up to pleasant views of the surrounding countryside, making it as much a scenic drive as a technical challenge. You'll complete the entire route in around 4 minutes of actual driving, though most enthusiasts take longer to savour the experience and photograph the nice vantage points along the way.

Preparation is minimal for this easy-rated trail—standard tyre pressures work fine given the 0% steep grades, and a high-clearance vehicle is helpful but not essential. Just check recent weather conditions, as the track can become slippery after heavy rain. With only a handful of vehicles having completed it so far, you'll likely enjoy relative solitude.
