Cpt 98/2 Road

You'll discover a short but intriguing forest route near Benandarah that offers a genuine back-country driving experience away from the main highways. Cpt 98/2 Road presents an excellent opportunity to explore the quieter corners of the NSW landscape, where you can test your vehicle's capability on a genuine working track rather than a heavily trafficked tourist route.

The 1.4 km stretch winds through native bushland with varied terrain that keeps you engaged despite its modest length. You'll encounter natural surfaces typical of rural access roads in the region, with sections that reward smooth throttle control and careful line choice. The relatively flat gradient means this isn't a technical mountain challenge, but the track's character comes from its authentic, unmaintained nature—exactly what many 4WD enthusiasts seek when escaping developed trails.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is well-maintained and carry essential recovery gear, as you're venturing into remote country where help isn't immediately available. Check local conditions beforehand, as weather can impact track accessibility. The surrounding bushland offers a peaceful driving experience, making this an ideal route for those building confidence in vehicle handling or simply wanting to explore lesser-known backcountry roads. You can log your visit and track conditions through the Newtracs app to help fellow explorers.
