Yates Road

Yates Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a chance to explore a lesser-known route near Coombell that rewards adventurous drivers willing to venture off the beaten path. This 2.1 km trail presents an accessible driving experience without steep grades, making it suitable for those looking to build confidence on rural tracks or simply discover what lies beyond the main highways in regional New South Wales.

You'll find yourself navigating through quintessential rural landscape, where the terrain transitions between open sections and tree-lined passages.
