4-Wheel Driving

Your 4W Driving Adventure Begins

On West Kunderang itself, 4W-Drive tracks are located up-river to the Second River Crossing, subject to river height. As well, the Old Raspberry Fire Trail is a favourite scenic 4W-Drive for visitors to “West Kunderang”. It makes for an enjoyable lunch tour with spectacular views into the Wilderness of Oxley Wild Rivers National Park, and views back down onto “West Kunderang” (from a height of approx. 800m). “River-crossing/Vehicular Boundary Advisory” signs are located at strategic points along these tracks.


Permission is required before attempting this
4W-Drive.

In addition, there are various 4W-Drive tracks accessed from Raspberry Road. This makes West Kunderang an ideal base for several days 4W-Driving in our area.
