To Well 40 (Natawalu)

To Well 40 offers 4WD enthusiasts a straightforward introduction to off-road driving in one of Australia's most remote and iconic regions. This short 1.1 km trail near Gibson Desert North provides an accessible way to experience the distinctive landscape of the Western Australian outback without requiring advanced driving skills or extensive vehicle modifications.

You'll navigate gently rolling terrain with minimal gradient challenges—the 0% steep grade means this route focuses on basic vehicle handling rather than technical obstacle navigation. The drive takes approximately three minutes, making it ideal for those wanting to explore the area efficiently or combine it with other nearby trails. The sparse vegetation and wide-open vistas typical of this region create a genuine outback atmosphere, allowing you to appreciate the raw beauty of the desert environment at a relaxed pace.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good working order and carry essential supplies including water, fuel, and communication devices—remote location preparedness is crucial even on easy trails. While the terrain itself presents minimal hazards, the isolation demands respect. You should be familiar with basic off-road recovery techniques and consider informing someone of your route. With only three previous vehicles recorded on this trail, you'll experience a genuine sense of solitude in this vast landscape. The Newtracs app can help you track your progress and connect with the growing community of 4WD explorers discovering these remote Australian routes.
