Bendleby Ranges

4WD Tracks - Bendleby Ranges & Hungry Ranges

With over 200km of 4X4 tracks ranging from mild to wild, Bendleby Ranges offers an incredible four wheel driving experience for both novices and experts.

Bendleby Ranges has the largest network of self-drive 4WD tracks in South Australia, to suit everyone’s driving ability; from the novice with a new 4WD vehicle to the very experienced.

Exhilarating drives can take you over the rugged Bendleby and Hungry Ranges and deep into the mountains for some truly majestic scenery.

Seekers of the adrenalin-pumping experience will find the challenging Billy Goat Ridge and Pat’s Peak tracks a “must do” experience.

With incredible views from the hilltops, the terrain varies from hills to plains with excellent views towards Lake Frome & Wilpena Pound.

These are some of the best Flinders Ranges 4WD tracks.

We supply maps and extra information on arrival and talk to you about the condition of tracks before you set off. The Training Track near The Springs is an excellent place to start. This is a great place to test your vehicle and yourself before trying some of the other more challenging tracks.
