Western Link Trail

The Western Link Trail offers 4WD enthusiasts a rewarding medium-difficulty challenge in the pristine bushland near Currowan, NSW. You'll navigate 3.5 km of varied terrain that demands skill and concentration, with steep grades reaching 12% that will test your vehicle's capability and your driving precision. This is the kind of trail that separates confident drivers from cautious ones, delivering genuine technical challenge without overwhelming difficulty.

As you progress, you'll experience the full spectrum of off-road driving—rocky outcrops, rutted sections, and challenging ascents that showcase the Southern Tablelands landscape. The scenery alternates between dense eucalyptus forest and open ridgeline views, rewarding your effort with genuine wilderness beauty. Water crossings and loose surface sections demand careful line selection, making this a trail where concentration pays dividends.

Before tackling the Western Link, ensure your 4WD is well-maintained with quality tyres, proper suspension, and reliable brakes—the 12% grades demand mechanically sound vehicles. Carry recovery gear, plenty of water, and spare fuel, as this is remote country. Allow yourself the full 16+ hours to complete the trail without rushing; this isn't a sprint but rather an immersive off-road experience. The Newtracs app will help you navigate waypoints and track your progress through this demanding but achievable terrain.
