Stock Route Road

Stock Route Road offers 4WD enthusiasts a chance to explore remote pastoral country near Kununurra, following historic droving routes through Western Australia's rugged Kimberley region. This 3.8 km track winds through open savanna landscape, presenting a relatively accessible drive that rewards you with authentic outback character and expansive views across cattle country. You'll experience variable track conditions typical of rural stock routes, with potential for washouts and seasonal changes depending on recent weather conditions.

The terrain alternates between compacted earth sections and rougher ground that demands careful navigation, though the minimal grade means you won't face steep climbs. As you drive, you'll pass through working pastoral property, so expect gates and the occasional evidence of livestock movement. The surrounding bushland offers genuine Kimberley atmosphere—sparse eucalypts dotting golden grassland with distant escarpments framing the horizon.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is well-maintained with adequate fuel and water supplies, as services are distant from this remote location. Check local conditions beforehand, as wet season can render sections impassable. While the trail presents a moderate adventure, its isolation demands respect—carry recovery gear and let someone know your plans. Using the Newtracs app to track your route provides valuable navigation support in this expansive landscape where landmarks can be deceptive.
