Herne Spur Track

Challenge yourself on the Herne Spur Track, where river crossings and steep grades combine to deliver a rewarding medium-difficulty adventure near Billabong. This 6.8 km route will test your 4WD skills without requiring extreme technical ability, making it ideal for drivers looking to build confidence on more demanding terrain.

You'll navigate through varied landscape as the track climbs steadily, with sections reaching 19% grade that demand respect and proper vehicle control. The highlight comes with multiple river crossings that add genuine challenge—timing and line choice matter here, so scout each crossing carefully and consider conditions before committing.

Prepare thoroughly before heading out: check water levels if recent rain has fallen, ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition, and carry recovery gear.
