Nursery Track

If you're seeking a medium-difficulty 4WD adventure with genuine water crossings near Burkes Bridge, the Nursery Track delivers an authentic off-road experience without extreme technical demands. You'll navigate a 6.2 km route that balances accessible terrain with the kind of river crossings that make for memorable driving, making this an ideal trail for building your water-fording confidence.

The landscape takes you through varied terrain where you'll encounter multiple river crossings that require careful line selection and steady throttle control. While there's no steep gradient to contend with, the real challenge lies in reading the water conditions and maintaining momentum through the creek sections. You should check current water levels before heading out, as flow rates can vary seasonally and affect crossing difficulty. Bring a recovery kit and ensure your vehicle's water crossings seals are in good condition.

The driving experience is rewarding rather than white-knuckle intense—you'll complete the route in around 8 minutes of active driving, but take your time to enjoy the journey. The combination of riverside scenery and technical water navigation makes this a satisfying half-day adventure. With only three vehicles currently logged on Newtracs, you're likely to have a peaceful experience exploring this less-travelled corner of the NSW backcountry.
