TRAX 4WD Fellowship

This is a challenging off-road route located in Wheeny Creek, within the Wollemi National Park. It is highly regarded by 4WD enthusiasts for its difficult terrain and remote wilderness views.

Trail Overview
– Location: Gees Arm South Trail, Wheeny Creek, NSW 2758.
– Best For: Serious 4WD driving.
– Difficulty: High B/A. It is specifically recommended for experienced 4×4 drivers
and modified vehicles only. The track feature large bouldery steps, steep hill
climbs, and “chicken tracks” that can still be hazardous. Lots of track building required.
– Admission: All vehicles must have a winch, full recovery gear, no roof top tents or
loads on the roof, 2” lift over standard (Disco’s on high setting) and traction
control/diff locks, lug type tyres, aggressive all terrains (with minimum 70% off road bias)!

4WD Requirements & Safety
This trail is notorious for its technical difficulty and risk of vehicle damage or rollovers.
– Vehicle Specs: A high-clearance 4WD with a lift, suitable off-road tyres, and lockers are strongly recommended. It is not suitable for soft-roaders or top-heavy vehicles due to “sideways action” and proximity to cliff edges.
– Gear: Essential items include recovery gear, tools, and a reliable navigation system.
– Group Travel: Do not travel this trail alone or at night.
– Access: Comleroy Road, Kurrajong Heights.
– Lookout: The track provides access to rugged lookouts overlooking the wilderness, though some drivers find the technical sections so time-consuming they do not reach the end.
– This track is impossible if wet!
The track is 7km long from Comleroy Road and it can take 4 to 5 hours to do the first 5 km, and then the last 2 km I have never been able to climb. So usually it is a full day of technical driving – it is in and out on the same track!

Come along for a day of fun and excitement! Located between Freemans Reach and West Wallsend, the track is less than 10km, but it may take all day. It’s not a vehicle breaking day out, but there is plenty of technical driving, and with the help of our spotters, we’ll have a safe and enjoyable day in the bush.

Best suited to a lifted vehicle with traction aids, or newly acquired Discos, you’ll learn about your car as you tackle the tracks. Don’t forget to bring your recovery gear; remember that you need to rely on your gear to get you unstuck.

Grade: B

Come along on this overnight trip following fire trails and some sealed roads between Marulan and Hampton. On both days you can expect easy driving, but some trails will be steep and river crossings may get above your door sills, but the riverbeds are hard and stable.

Enroute, for those with a penchant for antiques you might like to browse ‘Love Vintage Taralga’ and/or grab a coffee and cinnamon donut at The Coffee Palette if we’re early enough (a mobile coffee shop closing at 1pm).

Overnight will be at Silent Creek campground within Abercrombie River NP: https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/camping-and-accommodation/campgrounds/silent-creek-campground/visitor-info

We’ll continue through Kanangra-Boyd NP to Kanangra Walls Road, with a visit to the Walls Lookout if time permits. Afterwards we’ll conclude our trip at the Millionth Acre picnic area on Jenolan Caves Road.
