Fox Road

Fox Road offers 4WD enthusiasts an opportunity to explore the scenic backcountry near Perup in Western Australia's southwest. This 3.0 km route takes you through diverse terrain that showcases the region's natural character, with gentle grades that make it accessible for a wide range of skill levels. You'll experience the kind of remote driving that draws adventurers to Western Australia's inland tracks.

The trail winds through native bushland typical of the Perup area, where you'll encounter variable ground conditions that test your vehicle's off-road capabilities without extreme technical demands. The absence of steep grades means you can focus on line selection and terrain awareness as you navigate the route. Keep an eye out for loose gravel sections and potential washouts, particularly after heavy rainfall—conditions here can change seasonally, so local knowledge about recent weather is valuable.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is well-maintained and carry essential recovery gear, water, and communication devices. The remote nature of this trail means help isn't immediately nearby, so proper preparation is essential. Use the Newtracs app to track your progress and ensure you stay oriented, and consider visiting during daylight hours. This is a rewarding introduction to exploring Western Australia's lesser-traveled tracks.
