I believe the Border track is closed until April 30 when the fire season finishes. Thompsons Lookout on the Cactus Bore Track is/was challenging last time I was there, or Big Dune just north of The Brushcutters Track is good as well.

Don't forget to let your tyres right down on those sand dunes, 15 - 18 psi is the norm, but you can go down to 8-10 in a pinch, but don't turn a corner in a hurry at those kinda low pressures

Oops left out the "Test Hill" on side of main road 54H 0525621 6075562

The above and some others make up more fun than the Border track.
