Drummonds Track

Drummonds Track offers 4WD enthusiasts an exciting opportunity to test their water crossing skills in the scenic Hill River region of Western Australia. This compact 2.3 km route packs plenty of character into a short journey, with river crossings that will demand your attention and vehicle capability. You'll navigate through varied terrain as you make your way across the water obstacles, experiencing the kind of genuine off-road challenge that makes 4WDing rewarding.

The landscape around Hill River provides an attractive backdrop as you work through this trail, with native vegetation and rural scenery creating an authentic outback atmosphere. While the track isn't officially rated, the presence of river crossings means you should come prepared with appropriate recovery gear and ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition. Check local conditions before heading out, as water levels can fluctuate seasonally and affect crossing difficulty.

You'll want to take your time navigating the water sections—they're the heart of this trail's appeal. Consider carrying extra recovery equipment and perhaps having a spotter familiar with the route. Drummonds Track is ideal for drivers looking to build their crossing confidence without committing to a full-day expedition, making it perfect for a focused practice session or a morning adventure. The relatively short length means you can complete it efficiently while still enjoying genuine 4WD engagement.
