Southern Track

You'll discover Southern Track as a hidden gem for 4WD explorers seeking a short but worthwhile adventure near Belconnen. This compact 0.4 km route offers an excellent opportunity to test your vehicle's capabilities on varied terrain without requiring an extended time commitment. The gentle 0% grade makes it accessible for drivers of varying experience levels, though you should still approach with the respect any off-road journey deserves.

The track winds through characteristic NSW bushland, presenting you with a genuine off-road experience that belies its modest length. You'll navigate through natural obstacles and undulating ground that will engage your vehicle's four-wheel-drive systems while remaining manageable for most capable rigs. The scenery rewards your efforts with authentic outback atmosphere, perfect for those wanting to sample serious driving without venturing into remote backcountry.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good working order and carry essential recovery equipment. While the terrain isn't extreme, being self-sufficient is crucial when exploring less-travelled routes. Track conditions can vary seasonally, so checking current reports through community feedback is wise. Southern Track serves as an ideal introduction to the region's off-road potential, and you can record your experience using the Newtracs app to help build the community knowledge base for future adventurers.
