Bicentennial National Trail

You'll discover a unique piece of Australian history on the Bicentennial National Trail near Molonglo Valley, a short but memorable 4WD route that celebrates the nation's heritage. This modest 0.5 km section offers 4WD enthusiasts an opportunity to traverse terrain that connects to one of Australia's most significant long-distance trails, making it an ideal spot for those exploring the region's cultural and natural landscape. The gentle terrain with no steep grades makes this an accessible drive suitable for various vehicle types and skill levels.

The trail takes you through the scenic Molonglo Valley district, where you'll experience the combination of open bushland and pastoral countryside that characterizes this part of New South Wales. While the short distance means you won't spend much time behind the wheel, the surrounding landscape provides excellent photo opportunities and a chance to appreciate the area's character. The flat gradient ensures a straightforward driving experience, though you should still check local conditions and ensure your vehicle is roadworthy before setting out.

Before heading out, use the Newtracs app to view the trail map and plan your visit. The minimal elevation gain means you won't face technical challenges, but always carry water, inform someone of your whereabouts, and respect any local access restrictions. This trail serves as a perfect introduction to 4WDing in the region or a pleasant addition to a longer touring route through southern NSW.
