Depends how hard core you are, there is plenty of dirt roads and tracks that lead all over the place, some well trafficked others not so well. They might not fit the rating system 4wd clubs use but they can still be a good drive. Many of the tracks are on DSE maps and the like and some are only known to locals, but they can all be fun in some ways.

sorry, whats DSE maps?

Department of Sparks and Embers. Those who try to convince us they own the bush and look after it for our own good. You'll find offices all over the place. Their paper maps are nearly as good as the old CFA maps used to be.

thanks mate - where do you get em?

 

[KraftyPg]

Do a search for DSE (it's probably dse.gov.au) and find your closest office and go in and ask. They might sell them online I've never looked because we've had ours for about 20 years and they've been stashed in the shed for half that time. I can find about 5 different ways to get from my house down to the 90 mile beach without spending much more than 5 minutes on bitumen so I don't really need to refer to the maps for this area much.
