Cashells Trail

Cashells Trail offers 4WD enthusiasts an opportunity to explore a rugged stretch of backcountry near Goonoo Forest, where you'll encounter varied terrain that rewards careful vehicle handling and navigation skills. The 10.9 km route winds through country that demands your attention, with sections that will test your off-road driving ability and decision-making on the trail. You'll experience the raw beauty of inland New South Wales, with the surrounding landscape providing a genuine bush experience far from urban areas.

Before heading out, you should come properly prepared—this is unrated terrain, meaning it lacks official difficulty classifications, so bring detailed maps and consider using the Newtracs app to track your exact position throughout your journey. Weather conditions can dramatically affect trail conditions here, so check forecasts beforehand and carry recovery gear, extra water, and communication devices. The lack of established ratings also means you should thoroughly inspect sections on foot if you're unfamiliar with the route, and consider tackling it with another vehicle for safety.

This trail suits intermediate to experienced 4WD drivers seeking adventure away from crowded, maintained tracks. The relatively modest distance belies the concentration required to navigate successfully, making Cashells Trail a rewarding challenge for those ready to engage with genuine off-road driving.
