- Can you drive the NSW Bridal Track? Read this before Watching.......
This is not a usual video, I have decided to adopt the same video ideas from the NSW South Coast, and now here in the central west.
We have just finished our four day Australia Day camping weekend, and want to bring the track and its conditions to your screen.
Yes your 7 inch lifted, twin locked truck can drive the track, but can you do it?
We will be releasing our camping and adventure videos still and havew some plans for different content, so buckle up and get ready for the deep dive of the NSW Bridle Track.
Thank you all so much for watching! We hope you enjoyed the video and if you’re new to our channel we hope you will like, comment & subscribe.

Thanks for posting this video, well done.
I first travelled the Bridle Track in my new 1972 HQ Holden Ute. It sure was a lot different then, compared to now. I drove that track many times for the next 6 years in that ute. l was prospecting for gold and cashed in enough gold to buy a brand new 1978 Toyota Landcruiser SWB FJ40.
My only travelling companion on these "prospecting trips" was my German Shepherd Dog.
I kept my "hot spots" a secret. There is definitely, GOLD IN THEM THAR HILLS...
New subscriber. Regards, Brian.
Oh their would be gold there. Thank you for this comment. I appreciate everyone taking the time to watch and give their stories of the track and area. I love this country so much.
Thanks guys. Looks like a great weekend with great weather.
Was great to have the sun out. Ryan has reported that he is sun burnt everywhere.
@@DestinationOffroad It was over 41 degrees here on Thurs - Sat
thats insane. You can have that.
@@DestinationOffroad thats why I only replaced 1 fuse and the solenoid. I have work to do on my Calais and more to do on my camper trailer but I stayed inside instead
Very dry out that way.
Good simple track with some great camping by the looks. It's on my list of places to check out.
I fell in love with it last year. We have done so many insane tracks over the years. But this is just good, simple overlanding that anyone with a 4wd can do.
Great camping spots. 🇭🇲👍❤️🍺
We had the privilege to stay at Private Property, but was told it was overgrown. Ryan and I took our battery Whipper snippers and cleared what we could. I go back up with my petrol gear soon enough.
I did the Bridle Track in the late 90's. It was in good condition but there were no guard rails at all. It reminds me a little of McKillop's Track in the Vic High Country. One of Australia's most dangerous roads. It's a long, long way down to the river below with absolutely nothing to stop you on the way. Big pucker factor.
Back in the day before the bypass, I would have never taken the kids on the bridle track. That thing would have been a massive pucker moment for sure, especially in the 90's. I really need to head south to the vic high country.
took my mates getz threw here a few weeks ago after a bit of rain it’s just a dirt road
Nicely done, Getz are weapons on and off the road. But I can simple say, that it is more then just a dirt road. People that value the historic side of it would agree with me. Each to their own, Cheers Dave
Great informative vid bro. How busy does it get on the weekend?
Thank you. I did try and show as much of the track as possible. I have only just moved here, so I'll have to say maybe. To be honest, any one that has a rig could get there.
Bro thanks again for this video. Did the track last week with 2 other beginners. Was awesome 👍
Its is awesome little track. One of the reasons I moved here.
great vid guys would be good to see same style video on colong stock rte down near bullio wombeyan caves rd
Good suggestion. Thank you for the comment.
Is it best to start the Bridle Track at Hill End side ??
Yes, personal preference for myself is to head to Sofala and then turn off to and head towards Hill End. It is an amazing loop. Dave
Thanks
@@DestinationOffroad
Anytime. It is a amazing loop.
Caught I big carp on a cicada popper in Tallowa Dam
Nice, I still have not caught a carp, but give me time haha.
You should have seen the state of my air filter after being the following car.
😎
Yeah, Ryan always tells me about his filter after adventures.
Can i bring my cattle dog along or is it national park?. Cheers mate great vid. Thinking of doing it in a few weeks. I've got aVW multivan which is all wheel drive with rear diff lock and hill descent. Looks like she's a nice trail
From what I ihave been told, you can bring your puppy. We just got back from camping on the track ourselves with our Furchild. Even the campsites in Hill End are dog friendly.
In regards to the VW Multivan, hey if it has All Wheel Drive then I do not believe you would have a problem. We saw RAV4s, Klugers and Vitara. At the moment I wouldn't recommend it, as we just had a storm hit and the tracks would be slippery.
Thanks heaps mate... any idea best place to check track conditions before heading out?..
Btw... took the van through what i thought was fairly shallow waters.. ended up with green water over the bonnet.. have to admit needed new underwear after that little adventure🫣
Yeah I have had that moment before. Was the first time take the Challenger out stock as a rock.
There iis a Facebook page for the Bridle track. I can tell you now, it was rocky and ungrated. in the dry, it is a dust bowl, and in the wet, it can be slippery, especially the bipass and the climb to Hill End.
Pretty decent track. Can anyone without 4WD experience make it?
I drive a 4wd
It is an amazing area. Summer time is amazing. Winter is where it is at, though.
But yes, you can easily see the track. At the moment. It has alot of water at the moment.
Thanks for that, will try to give it a go in autumn before it gets too cold.
