This 7.1 km route takes you through diverse woodland terrain where you'll encounter natural forest tracks and open clearings that showcase the region's natural character. The relatively gentle driving experience makes this trail accessible for those building their off-road skills, though the unrated status means you should approach with appropriate caution and preparation.

The scenery along Coonan Road shifts between dense timber sections and more exposed areas, giving you varied views of the landscape as you progress. You'll appreciate the peaceful, isolated nature of this route—perfect for those seeking quieter exploration away from heavily trafficked trails. The flat grade means you won't face extreme technical challenges, allowing you to focus on enjoying the surroundings and practicing vehicle control on natural surfaces.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is well-maintained and you're carrying essential recovery gear and supplies. Check current conditions locally, as weather and seasonal changes can affect track quality in this region. While no official difficulty rating exists, the absence of previous Newtracs data means you should be prepared for unexpected obstacles and have proper navigation tools ready for your journey.
