Old Mount Lindesay Road

Old Mount Lindesay Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a chance to explore a historic route in rural New South Wales with minimal development pressure. You'll navigate 3.9 kilometres of genuine outback terrain that rewards patient, methodical driving rather than aggressive tactics. The gentle 3% grade makes this trail accessible for intermediate drivers while still demanding respect for the road conditions and your vehicle's capabilities.

The landscape surrounding this remote track showcases classic NSW countryside, with native vegetation and open vistas that remind you why off-road exploration captures the imagination. You should expect variable surface conditions typical of unmaintained rural roads—loose gravel, potential ruts, and washouts after heavy rain will test your vehicle's suspension and your own vehicle handling skills. The relatively short distance makes it perfect for combining with other nearby trails or as a leisurely half-day adventure.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is properly maintained and carry essential recovery gear. There's limited mobile coverage in this area, so inform someone of your route and expected return time. While no official difficulty rating exists yet, this trail suits drivers comfortable with basic off-road driving skills and willing to navigate without marked waypoints. The Newtracs app can help you track your route and share your experience once you've completed this interesting slice of NSW backcountry.
