Mundaring Powerlines TrackHard

Mundaring Powerlines Track

🗺️ mixed📍 28km

The most popular serious 4WD track close to Perth, about 37km east of the CBD. Originally a Western Power service track running under high-voltage powerlines, it remains open to the public and gets hammered by hundreds of cars on long weekends. The track has everything — clay climbs, rocky descents, deep mud sections, sand, and water crossings. Most obstacles have chicken tracks around them but even the chicken tracks get chewed up in winter. The whole loop takes about 3 hours in dry conditions but allow a full day if the ground is wet. Track difficulty changes dramatically season to season — what is a moderate drive in summer can become a winch-fest in July after two weeks of rain. The hill climbs at the eastern end are the most challenging sections. Highly modified vehicles can attempt the main line while stock cars stick to the easier bypasses. Extremely popular on weekends; expect to see other vehicles frequently which is handy if you get into trouble.

Wilbinga Beach & DunesMedium

Wilbinga Beach & Dunes

🏜️ sand📍 20km

The closest legal beach driving to Perth at about 70km north of the CBD via Wanneroo Road. Wilbinga Conservation Park sits between Two Rocks and Guilderton and encompasses several kilometres of sandy coastal tracks and three distinct sand bowl areas. Access is via Wilbinga Road heading west off Wanneroo Road, or through the Wilbinga Grove rest area further north. The beach itself is stunning — long stretches of white sand with Wilbinga Island visible offshore. Great fishing for tailor and herring along the beach. The sand bowls inland from the beach are excellent for practicing dune climbing and testing vehicle capability. Tracks range from flat coastal runs to steep dune climbs that will genuinely challenge your setup. The soft sand near the dune crests is the most dangerous section — if you lose momentum going uphill you will need a recovery. Popular with dirt bikes too so stay aware on blind crests.

⚠ Tyre pressure is critical — driving at road pressure will get you bogged immediately.

Lancelin Sand DunesMedium

Lancelin Sand Dunes

🏜️ sand📍 10km

The most iconic sand dune driving in WA and the closest serious dune experience to Perth at 127km north of the CBD. About 220 hectares of towering white dunes sitting directly inland from the Lancelin township. The dune system runs approximately 2km long with some faces approaching 45 degrees — these are the biggest dunes in WA. Entry is via Bootoo Street on the northern end of Lancelin and is free. The dunes are open sunrise to sunset. From the top of the main dunes you get panoramic views over the town, the Indian Ocean, Lancelin Island, and the surrounding farmland — spectacular at sunrise and sunset. The dunes are shared with dirt bikes, quad bikes, and sandboarders so situational awareness is essential. Dune shape changes constantly with the wind so what you drove last time may look completely different. Designated sandboarding areas are off-limits to vehicles and are clearly signed.

⚠ Shared with motorbikes and buggies — use a sand flag and go slow over blind crests

Waroona Dam LoopEasy

Waroona Dam Loop

🗺️ mixed📍 25km

A fantastic all-rounder 130km south of Perth via the South Western Highway near the town of Waroona. Lake Navarino (Waroona Dam) is a large freshwater reservoir surrounded by dense jarrah forest that offers 4WD tracks ranging from gentle lakeside drives to tougher bush tracks with real bog holes and hill climbs. The main loop follows the dam perimeter on a well-worn track that winds along the water edge and through the surrounding bush — stunning scenery especially in the early morning when the mist sits on the water. Away from the main loop are more challenging tracks heading deeper into the jarrah forest with several proper hill climbs and water crossings that will test mid-level setups. The area also has excellent trout, perch and marron fishing (licence required). Lake Navarino Holiday Park is located right on the dam and provides camping, powered sites, and cabins — making this a great overnight destination. Combine with Dwellingup tracks to the north for a full weekend.

⚠ Do not drive into the dam water itself — vehicles have rolled on the steep bank.

Julimar State Forest — Dummy Spit CircuitHard

Julimar State Forest — Dummy Spit Circuit

💧 mud📍 35km

A serious 4WD adventure playground 90km north-east of Perth near Chittering and Toodyay. Julimar Conservation Park is hill country covered in wandoo woodland with a network of tight clay and gravel tracks that vary from easy weekend drives to genuinely expert terrain. The famous Dummy Spit Hill is the centrepiece — a steep, rutted, loose climb with a large tree root across the track near the top that requires careful wheel placement. After wet weather the bog holes in the eastern section are bottomless — experienced drivers with winches still get stuck here. The tracks are narrow in places and even a standard-width vehicle will collect some pin striping in the tighter sections. Camping is permitted and the forest is beautiful — particularly the wandoo woodlands in the valleys around Julimar Brook. Go in winter for maximum mud and carnage, go in summer for dust and a much more accessible experience for newer drivers.

⚠ Not suitable for stock vehicles in winter. Some bog holes are winch-only territory — snatch straps are not enough room in the narrow sections.
