This 13.2 km route offers the perfect introduction to off-road driving, combining gentle terrain with genuinely scenic South Australian outback landscapes. The flat, well-formed track winds through native vegetation and open country, providing excellent visibility as you navigate the route at a relaxed pace—most drivers complete it in around 32 minutes, though you may want to take longer to soak in the surroundings.
The terrain here is refreshingly straightforward with zero steep grades, making this an ideal choice whether you're new to 4WD or simply prefer a laid-back drive.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is fueled and stocked with water—remote outback driving demands respect for the environment. Check current conditions via the Newtracs app to confirm track status, and let someone know your route. While the easy difficulty rating reflects the straightforward driving, the isolation is real, so carry a basic repair kit and communication device just in case.
