Cpt 6 Logging Road

You'll discover a surprisingly rewarding short route near Upper Corindi that delivers genuine 4WD satisfaction without requiring an all-day commitment. The Cpt 6 Logging Road is a compact yet engaging trail that showcases the region's forestry heritage while testing your vehicle handling skills through varied terrain.

The drive winds through mature timber country where you'll navigate a mix of compacted dirt and loose gravel surfaces. The relatively flat gradient means you can focus on line selection and obstacle avoidance rather than managing steep descents, making this ideal for building confidence in variable ground conditions. Dense tree coverage provides natural shade, and you'll encounter several sections with minor ruts and scattered rocks that demand careful steering. The forest setting creates an immersive experience despite the modest distance.

Before heading out, ensure your tyres are in good condition for loose surface grip, and carry water plus basic recovery gear. While the 8-minute average completion time seems quick, take your time to fully experience the trail and enjoy the peaceful bush surroundings. This is an excellent addition to a longer day trip in the region, or a perfect warm-up route for honing your off-road technique. The Newtracs app can help you navigate the precise route and track your progress.
