This short, straightforward route near Kerrs Creek delivers a genuine backcountry experience while remaining accessible to drivers of all skill levels, making it perfect for those building confidence behind the wheel on unsealed terrain.

You'll navigate 1.7 kilometres of well-formed track that winds through classic NSW bushland, offering scenic views of the surrounding landscape without demanding technical prowess.

While this trail presents minimal hazards, you should still be prepared with basics: ensure your vehicle is in good working order, carry water, and check weather conditions before heading out, as NSW backcountry weather can change quickly.
