Gully Road

Gully Road near Bucca offers 4WD enthusiasts a genuine test of vehicle capability and driver skill on a compact but seriously challenging route. What you'll find here is a brutal 64% grade that demands respect, precision, and a vehicle equipped for extreme angles. This isn't a leisurely scenic drive—it's a technical obstacle that separates casual off-roaders from those ready for genuine punishment.

You'll navigate steep, rocky terrain that will push your vehicle's suspension, traction, and climbing ability to their limits. The short 0.3 km distance is deceptive; what it lacks in length it makes up for in intensity. The unrelenting gradient means you're constantly fighting gravity, with little margin for error. You'll need excellent vehicle control, proper weight distribution, and ideally, a well-maintained 4WD with good ground clearance and reliable low-range gearing.

Before attempting Gully Road, you should thoroughly prepare your vehicle and honestly assess your driving experience. Bring recovery gear, ensure your brakes and engine cooling are in top condition, and consider the weather—wet conditions could make this trail extremely hazardous. This is the kind of trail where proper technique matters as much as horsepower. If you're tracking your off-road adventures on Newtracs, logging this challenge will mark a genuine achievement in your 4WD journey.
