Ajax Track

River crossings make the Ajax Track a rewarding adventure for 4WD enthusiasts seeking a quick but technically engaging drive near Campbells Creek. You'll tackle multiple water crossings that demand careful line selection and genuine water-fording skills, making this compact 0.6 km trail punchy and satisfying despite its modest length. The gentle terrain and lack of steep grades mean you can focus entirely on navigating the creek sections without worrying about steep descents or technical rock obstacles.

Your two-minute run through the Ajax Track delivers concentrated off-road excitement. The tree-lined approach creates an immersive bush setting as you approach each crossing, and the creek itself provides that authentic water-crossing experience that separates real 4WD trails from standard dirt roads. While the medium difficulty rating keeps this accessible to competent drivers, water depth and flow rates can vary seasonally, so checking recent conditions is essential before attempting the crossings.

Preparation is straightforward but important—ensure your vehicle's water crossings are sealed properly, carry recovery gear, and never underestimate moving water even in short sections. The trail works perfectly as a confidence-building experience for intermediate drivers or as a quick, satisfying run for experienced adventurers.
