The Tramway

You'll discover a uniquely challenging 4WD experience along The Tramway near Capertee, where rugged terrain and technical obstacles demand skill and precision from even experienced drivers. This 3km trail combines narrow rocky sections with dense vegetation that'll test your vehicle's agility and your ability to navigate tight spaces—you'll need confidence in tight steering and spotting assistance. The landscape shifts between open creek beds scattered with boulders and tree-lined passages where overhanging branches demand careful line selection, creating an engaging puzzle of natural obstacles rather than a straightforward bash through the bush.

The drive typically takes around 2.5 hours to complete, giving you plenty of time to pick your line through rocky outcrops and navigate the technical creek crossings. While the grade sits at a manageable level, the real challenge comes from obstacle density and terrain complexity—you'll encounter numerous rock gardens, tight turning radiuses, and sections requiring precise wheel placement. Bring a second spotter if possible, as many sections benefit from external guidance, and ensure your vehicle has adequate ground clearance and robust suspension setup before attempting this one.

Prepare thoroughly before heading out: check your tyres, carry recovery gear, and consider tackling this trail when conditions are dry, as wet weather amplifies the technical difficulty significantly. The Newtracs app will help you navigate these coordinates with confidence, marking waypoints through the trickiest sections.
