Furniss Fire Track

Furniss Fire Track offers 4WD enthusiasts a short but rewarding exploration of Western Australia's rugged backcountry near Mobrup. This compact 0.8 km route delivers an accessible off-road experience without the commitment of longer trails, making it ideal for testing your vehicle's capabilities or breaking in new gear. You'll navigate fire trail terrain that showcases the region's natural landscape, with a moderate driving experience that remains manageable for most capable 4WD vehicles.

The track's flat gradient means you can focus on line selection and vehicle handling rather than tackling steep descents or climbs. You'll find the surrounding scenery typical of the Mobrup district—open bushland with native vegetation that characterizes this part of Western Australia's interior. While the trail itself presents minimal technical difficulty, you should still ensure your vehicle is in good working order and carry essential recovery equipment, as remote locations demand self-sufficiency.

Since this trail remains unrated with no recorded completions on Newtracs, you'll be venturing into relatively undocumented territory—perfect for adventurous drivers seeking to map new routes or simply escape the well-trodden paths. The short length makes it an excellent addition to a longer exploration itinerary in the region, allowing you to maximize your time traversing multiple tracks in a single outing.
