Blue Road

Blue Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a chance to explore a lesser-known route near the Ardlussa Community in Southland, where you'll discover what this remote southern landscape has to offer. At just 1.5 km, this trail provides a quick adventure through terrain that remains largely untracked on popular off-road circuits. You'll navigate gentle grades as you traverse the local landscape, making this an accessible option for drivers looking to explore beyond the main highways.

The drive delivers an intimate look at Southland's countryside character, with the surrounding scenery revealing the region's rural charm. While the trail presents no significant elevation challenges, you should come prepared for variable ground conditions typical of lesser-used tracks in this area.
