Top 10 Holiday Destinations For 4wd Enthusiasts

If you're looking for your next 4WD destination, look no further than our list of the best places to go.

Fraser Island, Queensland

Fraser Island, located in Queensland, Australia is the largest sand island in the world. The island consists of rainforest which grows on sand dunes and has been there for thousands of years. Fraser Island is also home to wild dingoes and is only accessible by 4wd vehicles or a ferry ride from Hervey Bay.

Cape York, Queensland

Located in the top north of Australia, Cape York is one of the most remote parts of Australia. A ferry ride from Thursday Island takes you to this destination where you can explore its rainforests, camping spots and fishing spots. The Great Barrier Reef is also nearby for diving enthusiasts. At the tip of Australia lies Cape Tribulation, a beautiful beach that attracts many visitors each year because it offers white sands and clear waters.

The Gibb River Road, Western Australia

The Gibb River Road is a 660km 4WD track running through the Kimberley region of Western Australia. This road is one of Australia's best off-road trails and makes an excellent destination for any 4WD enthusiast.

The Gibb River Road is only open during the dry season and it can be very challenging to drive. The road winds through remote areas with steep climbs, rocky river crossings, sandy tracks and slippery mud. If you're not comfortable driving these conditions, then it's probably best to leave this one to the more experienced drivers among us!

Bungle Bungles, Western Australia

Bungle Bungle National Park is located in Western Australia, and it's one of the most remote and beautiful places on Earth. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it's home to some truly incredible landscapes—some of which are accessible only by 4WD vehicle.

The best time to visit Bungle Bungles depends on what you're looking for: if you want the opportunity to see wildlife, then winter or early spring are your best bets. But if you'd prefer milder temperatures (and more water available), summer might be better for your group. Regardless of when you go, there will be plenty for everyone in your group to see in this vast landscape; there are many walking trails that lead through dramatic sandstone formations and offer stunning views of Australia's Outback.

If you're traveling with others who would like their own space while still enjoying all that Bungle Bungles has to offer, we recommend staying at The Sands Resort—an eco-friendly resort that offers private cabins with complete kitchens and bathrooms so each member of your group can enjoy his or her own space while still being close enough together for meals together as well as common areas where guests can relax after long days exploring nature!

After spending some time exploring this amazing national park (and maybe even camping overnight!), we suggest heading north into Karijini National Park—another area renowned for its beautiful landscapes!

Birdsville Track, South Australia and Queensland

The Birdsville Track, a famous outback track in Australia, runs from Marree in South Australia to Birdsville in Queensland. This track can be driven with two-wheel drive vehicles but it is strongly recommended that you travel with four-wheel drive and a spare fuel tank. The road can become very rough, especially during the rains of winter. It is best to travel this route with a group of other offroad enthusiasts or at least have someone along who knows their way around the area.

Keep in mind that this trip should only be attempted during cooler months because of the extreme heat during summer months (November through March).

Simpson Desert, Northern Territory and South Australia

The Simpson Desert is one of the most isolated areas of Australia. You can only get there by four-wheel drive, so it's not for the faint-hearted. But if you're up for an adventure and you want to see some spectacular scenery, this is the place to go.

There are plenty of things to do in the area: swimming at Cooper Creek; bushwalking under the stars; camping out under a million twinkling stars; watching kangaroos bounding across fields (and sometimes right through your tent); and exploring ancient Aboriginal rock art sites that date back thousands of years. The desert also boasts some well-preserved Aboriginal communities where you can learn about indigenous culture and history firsthand.

The best time to visit is during winter (May–October). Temperatures are mildest then—it's usually around 26°C/78°F—and there are fewer flies around than during summertime when temperatures reach up over 40°C (104°F).

Tamworth Tourist Drive No. 11, New South Wales

Whether you're an experienced 4WDer or a novice driver, NSW's Tamworth Tourist Drive No. 11 is sure to leave you impressed. This scenic drive through the New England region of NSW will take you on an adventure through some of the state's most beautiful landscapes and towns, as well as past one of Australia's most famous attractions: the world's largest guitar!

Along this route, there are plenty of places to stop and camp along the way if you want to get off-road or simply enjoy a relaxing night by yourself or with friends. You'll see plenty of other classic Australian scenery along this journey: historic buildings like Nundle Inn and church steeples in Armidale; rugged mountainscapes near Glen Innes; and countless sunsets over expansive fields featuring grazing sheep. And don't forget about your camera—there are plenty of photo opportunities waiting for you at every turn.

Tin City and Faraway Bay, Northern Territory

Tin City and Faraway Bay are located approximately 150km north of the WA/NT border. This is one of our favourite spots in Australia’s outback, as it's a great place to get away from it all. The road to these locations can be accessed via the Buntine Highway or an unsealed road that branches off at the Victoria River Crossing.

The landscape here is stunning—rolling plains filled with red sand dunes and spinifex grasses, surrounded by granite hills on three sides (and a nearby river on the fourth). You’ll find wild brumbies running free across these beautiful expanses, making for some wonderful photographs!

There are numerous campsites along this route where you can stay overnight; however camping isn't allowed within Tin City National Park itself—instead there are several designated camping areas outside its boundaries. Fishing isn’t permitted within Tin City National Park either, but you can fish nearby in Lake Woods or Faraway Bay Lagoon instead if you want to do some angling while visiting this region.

Alice Springs to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Northern Territory

The trip from Alice Springs to Uluru and Kata Tjuta National Park is a great one for 4WD car enthusiasts. The route is graded as 4WD only, which means your vehicle needs to meet certain criteria before you can take it on the road.

Your journey from Alice Springs to Uluru will begin at the Stuart Highway turnoff at Giles Corner and follow the Ranger's Way into town. You'll then travel through Finke Gorge National Park (if you want to stop here) and onto Kings Canyon where you'll find some of Australia’s most spectacular views of Uluru and Kata Tjuta National Park.

This route isn't dangerous, but there are many hazards that you'll need to be aware of before setting out on this adventure:

• ●      Distance – The trip from Alice Springs to Uluru is approximately 445 km long; so make sure you have plenty of food and water in case an emergency happens along the way!
• ●      Road conditions – This track tends not get much traffic during winter months due to extreme weather conditions; however there are usually signposts guiding drivers on how far ahead they should stay off their tires when driving in these areas during summertime months (when temperatures reach upwards between 35-40 degrees Celsius). Although this does mean less chance for accidents happening along their journey, it also means fewer tire tracks showing where others have gone before so beware!!

East Coast Discovery Trail Tasmania

The East Coast Discovery Trail in Tasmania is a must for anyone with an off-road 4x4 vehicle. This route winds through the rugged wilderness of Tasmania and provides plenty of opportunities for fun adventures. The best place to start your journey on this trail is at its eastern end in Sandwich Bay, where you can begin driving along the coast towards Oatlands.

When you reach Oatlands, take time out from exploring to check out the local attractions including historic buildings and some beautiful national parks such as Lower Gordon River National Park and Blackmans Bay Coastal Reserve. Further east is Bicheno, where you'll find some excellent accommodations if you want to spend more time here before re-joining the trail farther along its course at Swansea Beach - one of Tasmania's major beaches (and my favorite).

If all that sounds like too much driving for one day then why not consider staying overnight? Check out our article on Top 10 Holiday Destinations For 4wd Enthusiasts where we list some great places which offer accommodation right next to their 4x4 tracks so that no matter what kind of adventure suits your needs there will definitely be something nearby!
