You'll navigate 6.6 kilometres of well-maintained track through the scenic hinterland, with gentle terrain that requires minimal technical skill—perfect for building confidence behind the wheel without the stress of steep grades or challenging obstacles.

As you traverse this easy route, expect a mix of pastoral landscapes and native bushland typical of the northern NSW coast.

The 55-minute completion time allows a leisurely pace, giving you opportunity to take in the local environment and stop for photos if desired.

While this trail demands little in terms of vehicle capability, standard 4WD preparation is recommended—ensure your tyres are properly inflated, carry water and a basic recovery kit, and let someone know your plans.
