Old Pine Road

Old Pine Road offers 4WD newcomers and families the perfect introduction to off-road driving without requiring serious vehicle modifications or advanced skills. You'll find this gentle 2.8 km route near Belanglo winds through peaceful bushland with minimal technical challenges, making it ideal for building confidence behind the wheel on dirt tracks. The terrain is consistently manageable with no steep grades, allowing you to focus on enjoying the surrounding scenery rather than wrestling with difficult obstacles.

The relatively short length makes this perfect for combining with other nearby trails or as a standalone adventure for those short on time.

Preparation is straightforward—standard safety precautions apply, including checking your tyre pressures and fuel before heading out.
