4x4 Off Road Tracks, 0-250 km from Perth.

Distance from Perth: Just over 40 km east of Perth city centre on Great Eastern Highway.

4x4 off road track conditions and difficulty:
The track is mainly clay and rock which is rutted, steep, and can be very dangerous when wet.
If you have never been off road before DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS TRACK.

The track starts near Sawyers Tavern in Sawyer Valley, it's an actual power line track managed by Western Power but open to the 4WD community.

Mundaring power line track is not for the faint hearted, however you don't need a monster truck to survive the track. For every hardcore challenge there is a chicken track, but not all the chicken tracks are easy...

4x4 off road driving along the Powerline track during the day is one thing but 4 wheel driving the same Powerline track at night is like 4WDing on a different planet!

It’s not all about the well-known powerline track running parallel to the great eastern highway. There is plenty to see and do in Mundaring state forest too!

Collie is the closest town to Wellington National Park, so when people mention the Lennard track they think of Collie and not Wellington National Park. The Wellington dam sits within this national park, and the Lennard track (which is 4WD and day use only) is in here too.

Outside of the Lennard track, you will find plenty more challenging tracks in the area. One of them is a fire break track not far from the end of the Lennard track. Parts of this fire break track are very fun and challenging.

The Wellington dam is also worth visiting if you’re in the area. It's a great place to take a few photos and stretch your legs for a while...
