This 1.5 km track takes you through authentic outback terrain where you can test your navigation skills on an unrated trail that remains relatively untouched by heavy vehicle traffic.

The terrain here rewards careful observation and steady vehicle handling, with varied ground conditions typical of outback tracks. Before setting out, ensure your 4WD is well-maintained with appropriate recovery gear on board, as the remote location means assistance isn't immediately nearby.
