Water Tank Track

Water Tank Track offers 4WD explorers a short but intriguing detour near Telfer in Western Australia's remote outback. This half-kilometre route provides a quick diversion from the main routes through the region, rewarding curious drivers with a glimpse into the area's pastoral history and infrastructure. The track's modest length makes it perfect for those wanting to stretch their legs and investigate a lesser-known destination without committing significant time.

You'll navigate relatively straightforward terrain with no steep grades to challenge your vehicle, making this accessible for a wide range of 4WD capabilities. The surrounding landscape typifies the Telfer district—sparse vegetation, wide-open spaces, and that distinctive red earth characteristic of inland Western Australia. The track itself is relatively compact and manageable, though you should bring supplies and ensure your vehicle is properly equipped for remote travel, as assistance isn't readily available in this isolated region.

Before heading out, check your fuel and water supplies, as services are distant from Telfer. The unrated status means you'll be among the first to document conditions on the Newtracs app—your feedback helps build the community knowledge base. While brief, Water Tank Track represents the kind of hidden gems that make outback exploration rewarding for those willing to venture off the beaten path.
