Victorian High Country Hell - The GQ Patrol's First 4wd Trip

Victorian High Country Hell - The GQ Patrol's First 4wd Trip

13 May 2013

A mate had his 4wd for sale with a few mods and accessories already aboard so I jumped at the chance to get my very own 1986 GQ patrol. ‘She’ needed a little work done to her for roadworthy but once that was all sorted I could not wait to get her out on the open road.

About an hour north of Hervey Bay lies a great fishing, boating and camping spot known as Burrum Point.  Accessable only by 4wd vehicle, this camp ground is still close to civilisation yet far enough out of the way to feel remote.

Mt Mee 4wd Day Trip - D Aguilar National Park - QLD

18 Feb 2013

Mt. Mee is so close to brisbane that it is an easy 4wd day trip idea.  Mt Mee is part of the D Aguilar National Park and only about 15 minutes from Dayboro.  D Aguilar National Park is divided into two sections, north and south.  The majority of the northern part is 4wd access only. Mt. Mee is a beautiful mountain located in the northern section of the National Park and the northern section of D Aguilar is often just called Mt. Mee.

Right on the door steps of Coffs Harbour in the mid-northern coast of NSW lies an amazing yet little known National Park called Yuraygir (Yur-ay-gee).  The national park is a 4wd wonderland of bush and beach that takes days to explore.  It really has to be seen to be believed.

It's Only A Creek - Kanangra National Park

24 Oct 2012

UHF Channel 10 crackled as the Land Rover Discovery 300tdi edged down a fire road in the Kanangra National Park. The Toyota Prado D4D idled calmly behind waiting for final instructions whilst the v6 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon rumbled behind waiting for its turn...

4wd Trip to Rathdowney & Mt Barney National Park

22 Aug 2012

After spending a night camping at Rathdowney, we decided to go out on a quick 4wd trip to the Waterfall Creek Road area.  It is an easy track with some side roads you keep you entertained.  When you get to the end of the track there is a bushwalk that takes you to the Upper Portals for some great views of waterfalls and birdlife.

Bribie Island 4wd & Fishing Trip

21 Aug 2012

We hadn’t been on the beaches at Bribie Island yet, so we all packed up and headed out in a convoy of about 6 cars for a day trip.  Bribie island is only about an hour and a half from Brisbane and probably the closest place that 4wd enthusiasts from Brisbane can get some beach driving action.

We were after a quick long weekend getaway and decided to go camping at Peach Trees near Jimna.   Peach Trees Forest Park is about 44 km north of Kilcoy and 4 km north of Jimna off Kilcoy Murgon Rd.  It was an unexpected surprise and a great private little camp area where we were happy to let the kids explore.   We hadn’t planned on visiting Landcruiser Mountain Park, but we were sure glad we did.
