Slys South Trail

You'll discover a rewarding medium-difficulty route through the rugged landscape near Jacky Bulbin Flat that offers genuine 4WD engagement without extreme technical demands. Slys South Trail presents a perfect sweet spot for drivers looking to build confidence on challenging terrain while enjoying the raw beauty of inland New South Wales backcountry. The 3.6 km trail winds through varied landscapes that test your vehicle handling on uneven ground, with rocky sections and natural obstacles that demand careful line selection and steady throttle control.

The driving experience here centers on precision rather than intensity. You'll navigate through tight spots where tree-lined sections open into broader clearings, giving you varied scenery throughout your 18-minute journey. The terrain combines compacted earth with scattered rocks and ruts that require attentive steering and good traction control. While the 0% steep grade means you won't face severe climbs, the uneven surface demands respect and concentration.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in solid working order with quality tyres offering good grip. Bring recovery gear and check weather conditions, as these inland tracks can become slippery after rain. The trail's moderate difficulty makes it ideal for intermediate drivers wanting real-world 4WD experience. With only three vehicles recorded on Newtracs so far, you'll enjoy a genuine sense of exploration on this less-travelled route through the NSW outback.
