Wewak Track

You'll find the Wewak Track a refreshing riverside adventure near Glenluce, offering 4WD enthusiasts an excellent opportunity to test their water-crossing skills without committing to a full-day expedition. This compact but engaging trail delivers genuine off-road excitement in just one minute of driving, making it perfect for those wanting to hone their technique or break up a longer touring day.

The track takes you through scenic bushland terrain as you approach multiple river crossings that form the trail's standout feature. While the 0.1 km distance might seem short, the water crossings demand your full attention and vehicle control—this is where the real challenge lies. You'll need to read the water carefully, maintain momentum, and trust your 4WD's capability to navigate these obstacles safely. The medium difficulty rating (2/4) reflects these water hazards rather than steep grades, so careful line selection and steady driving technique are your best assets.

Before tackling the Wewak Track, ensure your vehicle is properly maintained and your recovery equipment is accessible. Check recent conditions if possible, as water levels in the crossings can vary significantly with rainfall. The trail's popularity among experienced drivers—with four vehicles having successfully completed it—proves it's achievable for well-prepared adventurers. Come prepared with appropriate tyres, steady hands, and respect for the river, and you'll find this short burst of driving genuinely rewarding.
