Access Track

You'll find the Access Track near Telfer an excellent medium-difficulty introduction to Western Australian outback driving, where river crossings add genuine excitement without overwhelming technical demands. The 35.2 km route delivers a genuine adventure through remote terrain, offering the kind of authentic 4WD experience that keeps enthusiasts coming back. With only two vehicles having completed this trail, you're exploring relatively untouched country where solitude is part of the appeal.

The driving experience balances accessibility with challenge. Expect varied terrain that tests your vehicle handling across sandy stretches and rocky sections, all without steep grades that might intimidate less experienced drivers. The highlight comes at the river crossings—you'll need to read the water carefully, assess your approach, and commit to crossing with proper technique. These water features demand respect and preparation: check water depth beforehand, ensure your vehicle is properly maintained, and consider your approach line thoughtfully.

Before heading out, verify water levels with local information, as seasonal variations significantly impact crossing difficulty. Pack recovery gear, spare water, and communication devices—the remote location means help isn't immediately available. The relatively quick average completion time of 72 minutes makes this ideal for a focused afternoon adventure, though you'll want to allow extra time for careful water crossing preparation. This trail rewards confident drivers seeking genuine outback engagement without extreme technical challenges.
