Big Red Track: experienced drivers only

Located in southeast Queensland, Big Red Track is a spectacular and challenging four-wheel-drive. Make sure you have advanced 4WD experience and all the necessary recovery gear. Experienced drivers only.

Tucked away in the Glasshouse Mountains, it’s one of the toughest tracks you can test your vehicle in the area. One mistake can have serious consequences. Vehicle rollovers are a common sight out here. Access to the track is via the Bruce Highway and Steve Irwin Way.

This track requires low range, high ground clearance, traction aids and recovery gear. It’s suited for well-equipped 4WD vehicles and those with experience in vehicle self-recovery. The route should not be underestimated. It has humbled many egos. It’s not for the sissies and shouldn’t be attempted by novice drivers. In dry conditions, lifted vehicles shod with mud terrain tyres may manage the track without too much difficulty, however muddy conditions ensure that your recovery gear will be getting repeated use. Be prepared, this road is not for the faint of heart or ill prepared.
