Bullen Track

You'll discover an intriguing short route near District of Paddys River that packs genuine water-crossing challenge into just 0.4 km of driving. The Bullen Track offers 4WD enthusiasts a focused test of vehicle capability, where river crossings demand careful navigation and precise driving technique. Despite its brief length, this trail provides authentic off-road experience that rewards proper vehicle setup and driver skill.

The terrain here is defined by its water features, which present the primary interest for experienced 4WD drivers. You'll need to assess water depth and flow conditions before committing to each crossing, making this a thinking driver's challenge rather than a purely technical test. The relatively flat grade means difficulty lies in water management rather than steep ascents, but don't underestimate the conditions—river crossings can be unpredictable and demand respect.

Before attempting the Bullen Track, ensure your vehicle is properly equipped for water crossings with adequate ground clearance and sealed electrics. Check recent conditions, as water levels and river flow vary seasonally. Only three vehicles have completed this route according to Newtracs data, suggesting it remains relatively quiet and challenging. Bring recovery equipment and consider attempting this trail with other experienced 4WD drivers, as remote conditions mean assistance may be crucial if you encounter difficulties.
