This easy 2.5 km stretch delivers genuine 4WD enjoyment in just five minutes, making it ideal for testing your vehicle's capabilities or building confidence before tackling more demanding terrain in the region.

The trail takes you through accessible forest country with a gentle, forgiving driving surface that showcases what your 4WD can do.
