Drummonds Track

Drummonds Track offers 4WD enthusiasts a unique short adventure near Hill River, highlighted by exciting river crossings that test your vehicle handling skills. Despite its modest 0.3 km length, don't underestimate this track—the water crossings demand respect and proper vehicle preparation, making it an excellent training ground for building confidence in wet terrain navigation.

You'll find the terrain relatively straightforward with a manageable 0% steep grade, but the river crossings are where this trail earns its appeal. The gentle gradient means your focus can remain entirely on line selection and water depth assessment as you navigate through the creek sections. The surrounding Western Australian landscape provides pleasant scenery that complements the technical driving challenge.

Before attempting Drummonds Track, ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition and equipped for water crossings—check your snorkel clearance, engine bay seals, and differential breather systems. Bring recovery gear and consider attempting this trail with experienced companions. While no vehicles have officially logged completion data through Newtracs yet, this shouldn't deter you; it simply means you'll be among the first to document your experience on the platform. The track's short length makes it an ideal lunch-break adventure or a component of a larger Hill River exploration, perfect for honing your off-road skills without significant time commitment.
