Phillips North Road

Phillips North Road offers a unique opportunity to explore the remote backcountry near Koomberkine in Western Australia. This short 0.4 km route provides 4WD enthusiasts with an accessible drive through relatively undeveloped terrain, making it ideal for those looking to discover lesser-known tracks in the region. The flat gradient means you won't face steep climbing challenges, allowing you to focus on navigation and enjoying the landscape at a relaxed pace.

As you drive this trail, you'll encounter the characteristic red earth and sparse vegetation typical of inland Western Australia. The terrain is manageable for most capable 4WD vehicles, though you should remain alert for hidden ruts, loose surface conditions, and potential vegetation encroachment that can develop quickly on less-trafficked routes. The short distance makes this perfect for testing navigation skills or combining with nearby trails to create a longer adventure.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition and carry essential recovery gear—even short trails benefit from preparation. Check weather conditions beforehand, as local conditions can affect track quality. While this trail currently shows zero completion records on Newtracs, that shouldn't deter experienced drivers; it simply means you'll have a chance to explore authentic, unpolished outback driving. The experience captures what many 4WD adventurers seek: quiet, genuine exploration away from heavily travelled routes.
