4WD Adventure of a Lifetime: Conquering the Iron Bridge to Denniston Track

Get ready for an unforgettable 4WD adventure!

Let me tell you a tale about an epic journey we embarked upon, conquering the fabled Iron Bridge to Denniston track (also known as the New Creek to Denniston 4WD Track)! This adventure was absolutely fantastic.

Our journey began with a mighty roar as we revved up our engines and set off on the road, which was originally built to service power lines. We encountered a few river crossings along the way, but the most challenging one was the Mackley River. Nevertheless, we managed to navigate across with a slow and steady boulder hop.

As we continued on, the road took us through a series of forested hills and valleys, traversing the mighty Mt William Saddle onto Burnett’s Face. And finally, we arrived at the historic coal mining area of Denniston. The scenery was simply breathtaking!

But wait, there's more!

We decided to spice things up and turned off onto the Confusion Corner track. This took us down to the Waimangaroa River, where we embarked on the infamous Mt Frederick track.

Now, this track was no joke. It is a solid grade 5+ and after driving just 100 meters, my buddy Kurt and I decided it was a bit much. So, we turned around and began the search for a perfect campsite to rest and relax.

And that's how our wild adventure came to a close, folks! If you're ever feeling adventurous, hop in your trusty 4WD and head out to the Iron Bridge to Denniston track. Who knows what epic tales you'll come back with!

I've created posts with more information on the tracks (including downloadable gpx files), general information (permission, history and any interesting facts) to help you with planning your next adventure.
