Marlock Road

Marlock Road offers 4WD enthusiasts an accessible entry point to Western Australia's remote backcountry near Baudin. This 2.4 km route provides a chance to explore quieter terrain without excessive technical demands, making it ideal for those looking to venture off the beaten path and test their vehicle's capability in a more relaxed setting.

The short length makes it perfect for a quick exploration or as part of a broader adventure through the region.

Before heading out, ensure your 4WD is in good working order and carry essential supplies including water, fuel, and recovery equipment. While the terrain itself isn't particularly demanding, remote Western Australian locations demand respect—inform someone of your plans and check weather conditions beforehand. Using the Newtracs app to track your route will help you navigate confidently and record your journey. This trail represents an excellent opportunity to build your off-road confidence while discovering what the Baudin area has to offer.
