Water Tank Track

Water Tank Track offers 4WD enthusiasts a chance to explore the remote outback near Telfer, where minimal development means you'll experience authentic Pilbara wilderness. This 7.7 km route takes you through classic Australian bushland with varied terrain that rewards careful vehicle handling and navigation skills. The track's unrated status reflects its raw, undeveloped nature—you won't find manicured conditions here, but rather genuine off-road driving where paying attention to ground conditions and your vehicle's capabilities matters most.

As you navigate Water Tank Track, expect to encounter typical Pilbara terrain with rocky sections and natural obstacles that keep your driving engaged throughout the route. The scenery showcases the region's stark beauty, with sparse vegetation and expansive views characteristic of inland Western Australia. The relatively flat gradient profile (0% steep grade) means this isn't about conquering dramatic elevation changes—instead, the challenge lies in reading the terrain, managing obstacles, and maintaining momentum across uneven ground.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is well-maintained and carry essential supplies including water, recovery gear, and a communication device. The remote location near Telfer means you're far from services, so self-sufficiency is crucial. Using navigation tools like the Newtracs app can help you stay oriented in this isolated country and ensure you can find your way back reliably.
