Wickham Track

The Wickham Track offers 4WD enthusiasts an accessible yet rewarding adventure through remote Northern Territory outback near Gregory. Spanning 59 kilometres of genuine off-road driving, this medium-difficulty route delivers the authentic bush experience without extreme technical demands, making it ideal for intermediate drivers looking to build their skills and confidence.

You'll navigate through classic outback terrain where river crossings add genuine adventure to your journey. The landscape unfolds with characteristic Northern Territory scenery—sparse vegetation, rugged bushland, and waterways that demand respectful approach. The 3.5-hour average completion time allows you to progress at a steady pace, taking in the environment while maintaining focus on the track ahead. With zero steep grades, the challenge here comes from navigation and water crossings rather than extreme gradient climbing, making it an excellent choice for expanding your off-road experience.

Before heading out, prepare thoroughly for river crossing conditions—water depth and flow can vary significantly depending on recent rainfall. Carry adequate recovery gear, spare water, and navigation tools. The remote location near Gregory means you're well away from immediate help, so self-sufficiency is essential. Track conditions can shift seasonally, so check current reports and consider using the Newtracs app to download trail data before you venture into this rewarding slice of outback driving.
