These tracks can be driven by conventional cars with care, but high clearance is essential. Beware fallen logs and washed out creek crossings. Mobile phone signal is patchy.
Starting point for odometer: Promisedland Road, at the corner of Carter Road. Carter Road is about 2km west of the corner of Promisedland Road and Phillips Road.
