South Boundary Track

You'll discover a remote and seldom-traveled route through the rugged bushland near Ngarkat, where you can experience genuine outback exploration far from established tourist trails. The South Boundary Track offers 4WD enthusiasts the chance to navigate genuine backcountry terrain, with native vegetation and diverse landscapes that showcase South Australia's natural character. As you drive this 5.8 km route, expect variable ground conditions typical of regional tracks—loose gravel, potential ruts, and natural obstacles that will test your vehicle handling skills.
