Good Friday Track

Good Friday Track delivers a satisfying blend of challenge and accessibility that makes it ideal for intermediate 4WD drivers looking to build their skills without overcommitting to a full day expedition. Near Bakers Creek in NSW, you'll encounter a compact 2.1 km route that packs genuine technical interest into a quick 11-minute drive, making it perfect for testing your vehicle's capabilities during a weekend adventure.

The terrain here demands respect despite its modest length. A consistent 10% steep grade means you'll need good traction and vehicle control throughout, with loose surfaces and potential washouts typical of this region's drainage patterns. You'll navigate tight sections where precision steering matters, and the narrow corridor of native bush creates an immersive driving experience rather than a casual cruise. The scenery rewards your focus—open forest vistas and creek-side vegetation make the technical challenge feel purposeful rather than punishing.

Come prepared with proper recovery gear and ensure your vehicle's brakes and suspension are in good condition before tackling this grade. Check current conditions locally, as wet weather can significantly impact traction and safety. Using the Newtracs app's offline maps will help you locate the trailhead accurately and monitor your progress through the trickier sections. This is a trail where skill matters more than horsepower.
