This is a great little drive for anyone who is new to taking their 4WD off-road or is looking for an easy drive just outside of the city. The tracks are all marked as being EASY or MEDIUM, with the final stretch back to the bitumen being well formed gravel. Despite the temptation, you should engage 4WD once you leave the bitumen and only drop back to either 2WD or AWD once back on the black top.  The use of 4WD reduces the amount of wheel spin and therefor wear and tear on the track and greatly improves the road holding ability of your vehicle.  There are multiple sections where there are deep wash-outs and several rocky areas.

Because it accesses a National Park, the usage of this route by 4WD  is monitored by DPAW (Department of Parks and Wildlife) staff. The route accesses an area that has been adoted by the Eastern Suburbs 4WD Club, who are doing an excellent job of maintaining it.
