The Condamine gorge road (via Boonah) is great- not much of a challenge 4 wheel drive wise but great fun and scenery with 12 or so river crossings, depending on how much rain has fallen - these can be more or less interesting. Killarney is at the southern end with a great pub. If you like steaks - visit the Killarney butcher too. ;)

Mt Mee/Mt Byron on the unmarked tracks. Basically a figure 8 orientated north/south with the Gantry in the middle. The tracks grade from scenic to challenging. The downside is that the main tracks can be very dusty when dry.

Beerwah State forest is good for a days challenging driving. Landcruiser Park is another favourite of mine and great for a weekender.

i whole heartedly agree with all so far!
mt mee is a particular fav for our family.
clear mtn state forest is nice & tricky if you can get in there. the bris lroc gets a permit every year.
levuka & cityview are favs of mine too..even after cityview busted my truck!!:(

Ipswich motorway. Make sure you air down.And during peak period, you can probably get up to much high speeds around Mt Mee than you can on the motorway.;)

Mt Mee, Boonah ( see weeds post ) and Duck Ck.

BTW, weeds, whats the run up the beach north of Noosa like and is it easy access?

Dont know if you are aware of this track but, If not head towards Warwick about 4 Ks past Aratula pub turn left into Moogerah Rd, Then about 5 ks turn right into Spicers Gap Rd. at the top is a gate go through gate and you will find a Y junction go left to look out them come back To Y/T? junction and follow the track it bring you out about 10 ks on the Warwick side of Cunninghams Gap the degree of diiculty about a 3-4 in dry weather after wet weather up to 7 + . If you use it too soon after rain go with another vehicle or have a winch as there is a creek / river crossing depending on how much rain has fallen. It is a public RD/ track or was the last time I used it (about 4 Yrs ago) it is the origanial Rd over Cunninghams Gap, People camp along it, there are pioneer,s graves a couple of old water troughs for horses still along it. Total distance from menory about 15 ks

We used to camp at Spicers Gap too. However as far as I know the track that links the campground to the highway has been closed for years. I thought more than 4 though. More like 7 years.

My favourite SE Qld 4wd camping destination is Teewah/Rainbow Beach.

To be avoided at all costs on school holidays and long weekends though.

Anything that requires diff locks and winchs to get through, the harder the better :twisted::twisted::twisted:. The 4WD parks of course, Beerwah probably the best of the forest tracks around.

For something a bit more tame, the Seven Mile diggings isn't too bad. Challenging enough for a stocker and a couple of off-shoots for the more foolhardy (like me :angel:)

Mt Mee, haven't been there for a few years and even last time it was too tame so I haven't botherd going again :(
