Collins Road

Collins Road offers 4WD enthusiasts an understated adventure through the Western Australian outback near Hazelvale, where you'll navigate a moderately compact 4.2 km route that rewards curiosity over adrenaline. The terrain presents a mix of sandy and rocky sections that demand careful vehicle control and respect for the landscape, making it an ideal shakedown run for testing your rig's capabilities in genuine off-road conditions without overwhelming difficulty.

As you traverse this unrated trail, you'll experience the characteristic Hazelvale environment—sparse vegetation, open vistas, and the kind of isolated backcountry that defines Western Australian exploration. The gentle grade means you won't face extreme climbs, but don't let that fool you into complacency; sandy patches can be deceptively challenging, and the remote location demands proper preparation. You should carry adequate water, ensure your vehicle is mechanically sound, and inform someone of your intended route before heading out.

The fact that this trail remains relatively quiet—with minimal traffic history—means you're exploring less-traveled country where track conditions may vary seasonally. You'll appreciate the authenticity of an untrammeled off-road experience, though this also means limited recent feedback from other drivers. Using the Newtracs app to track your progress and waypoints through this corner of Western Australia can help you document conditions and contribute valuable trail intelligence for the community.
