Quarry Trail

You'll discover why Quarry Trail has earned its reputation as a rewarding medium-difficulty drive near Upper Corindi. This 1.8 km route takes you through restored quarry landscapes where nature is reclaiming industrial heritage, creating a unique blend of geological interest and bush exploration. The terrain features a mix of compacted tracks and rocky sections that keep you engaged without demanding extreme technical skill, making it perfect for drivers looking to build confidence on their 4WD journey.

The driving experience unfolds across roughly an hour of exploration, with gentle grades that allow you to focus on line selection and vehicle control rather than steep descents. You'll navigate through sections of recovering native vegetation interspersed with open quarry vistas that offer surprisingly picturesque views across the local landscape. The track remains dry and accessible year-round, though you should check conditions after heavy rain as some clay sections can become slick.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle has adequate ground clearance for the rocky patches and carry water plus basic recovery gear. The lack of steep grades means minimal winch scenarios, but a snatch strap is always wise. With six previous drivers having completed this route successfully, you can use the Newtracs app to review their tracks and plan your approach before arriving.
