Getting off the beaten track has never been so exhilarating.

Fuel your thrill of adventure, beginning just one-hour from Brisbane at the Lockyer Valley National Park.

If you’re just beginning to dip your tyre toes into four-wheel driving, the Crows Nest area has a series of seven “soft 4WD” trails to choose from, all along public roads. All the trails start from the Hampton Visitor Information Centre and are about two hours in duration.

Country in the Goomburra Valley, has a wide range of tracks from scenic lookout loops along the Great Dividing Range to the practice playpen. Also in Goomburra is Janowen Hills 4WD Park, who offer 4WD tracks for both 4x4 beginners and experts through hilly terrain and rocky gullies.
