Sidetrack

You'll discover why Sidetrack earns its name as a rewarding detour through the lush Eungella Hinterland. This gentle 1.0 km route offers the perfect introduction to off-road driving, with its easy difficulty rating and zero steep grades making it accessible for newcomers and experienced drivers alike. The trail winds through Queensland's verdant hinterland, where you'll experience authentic bush driving without the technical challenges that intimidate less experienced adventurers.

The terrain here is manageable and forgiving, allowing you to focus on enjoying the surrounding scenery rather than wrestling with your vehicle. You'll traverse through natural woodland with minimal obstacles, making this an ideal choice for families or those building confidence in their 4WD capabilities. The leisurely 38-minute average completion time gives you ample opportunity to soak in the atmosphere and appreciate the region's natural beauty.

Before heading out, basic vehicle maintenance is all you'll need—no specialized recovery gear or advanced driving skills required. The trail's accessibility makes it perfect for a casual weekend drive, and you can track your journey using the Newtracs app to log your completion. While Sidetrack may be short and easy, it's a genuine off-road experience that proves you don't need extreme difficulty to enjoy authentic 4WD adventures in one of Queensland's most picturesque regions.
