Hillams Track

Venture into the rugged backcountry near Baroota and discover what makes Hillams Track a compelling expedition for 4WD adventurers seeking authentic outback exploration. This 11.2-kilometre route traverses diverse South Australian landscapes, delivering the kind of raw, unmanicured driving experience that separates true off-road enthusiasts from casual weekend explorers. You'll navigate through varied terrain that demands respect and attention, with the track's natural character preserved in its unrated status—meaning you're essentially pioneering your own assessment of what this route offers.

The driving experience unfolds across gentle grades that won't test your vehicle's extreme capabilities, but instead invite you to focus on line selection, terrain reading, and the pure satisfaction of self-guided exploration. You'll encounter the distinctive vegetation and geological features that define this corner of South Australia, with scenery that rewards your effort and attention. Before setting out, ensure your vehicle is well-maintained and carry essential recovery gear, water, and communication devices—this is remote country where self-sufficiency matters.

The absence of previous recorded completions on Newtracs means you'll be contributing valuable data to the community when you document your journey. Bring navigation tools, plan for variable conditions, and approach this track with the preparation it deserves. Hillams Track represents the kind of genuine outback adventure that keeps 4WD enthusiasts pushing further into Australia's interior.
