Ruins loop

4WD track in the West Coast region

Ruins loop is a short West Coast 4WD track up on the Denniston Plateau, running down to historic mining ruins with views into the area's past.

A short loop up on the Denniston Plateau, running down to some old historic ruins. The building itself is long gone, but there's enough left to give you a bit of a window into the plateau's mining past.

It's a quick one rather than a big day out, so good to tack onto a wander around the wider Denniston area. The exposed plateau country has its own feel to it, bleak in a good way, with views out while you poke around the remains.
