Bunyip Road

Bunyip Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a compact yet intriguing off-road experience near Mount Royal in regional New South Wales.

You'll navigate relatively flat terrain with minimal gradient challenges, allowing you to focus on line selection and vehicle handling rather than steep climbs or descents.
