Bens Road

Bens Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a chance to explore a lesser-known route near South Yunderup, where you'll encounter the raw, unmanicured character of Western Australian bush tracks. This 1.6 km trail takes you through terrain that rewards curiosity and caution in equal measure, presenting a genuine off-road experience away from heavily trafficked routes. You'll navigate through native vegetation and natural obstacles that demand attention and respect for the landscape.

The relatively flat grade means you won't face extreme climbing challenges, but don't let that fool you into complacency. The actual driving experience depends heavily on seasonal conditions and recent weather patterns—what's passable in dry season might present serious challenges after rain. You should prepare thoroughly before attempting this trail, ensuring your vehicle is well-maintained with appropriate recovery equipment on hand. Check current conditions locally, as this unrated track receives minimal maintenance and may feature hidden hazards including fallen timber, washouts, or soft patches that aren't immediately obvious.

Before heading out, bring extra fuel, water, and supplies, as you're venturing into remote territory with limited services nearby. Having a reliable navigation method and communication device is essential. Track your experience with the Newtracs app to help build knowledge about this trail's conditions and difficulty.
