El Questro is an adventure playground for grown-ups. Just let the pressure down in your tyres, take a deep breath, and enjoy romping on a million acres sprinkled with 4WD tracks of all levels!!
A boggy mess!!!!
A boggy mess!!!!
Okay, so some tracks are best left alone. A quick jaunt down a steep riverbank, in along the river bed, over logs and rocks and goodness-knows-what, over mud and a big big bog, and we soon learned that the track is made from cattle hooves, not 4WD vehicles after all.
The Patrol is utterly brilliant of course.... but even some tracks are best left alone.....
Back tyres are spinning
We try to dig ourselves out with rocks (we accidentally left the shovel back at camp)
We make some distance after 30 minutes digging....
....and in the end, we winch ourselves out, up over the steep riverbank, and safely home!Saddleback Ridge is easier....
Saddleback Ridge
Extremely steep and narrow, this track takes you up the side of a mountain and across its ridge. You are rewarded with 360 views when you reach the summit. Truly beautiful.
Great plumes of fine pink dust follow your rig so be sure to close all car windows when passing other vehicles.
Near-vertical views from the track.
You have to raise out of your seat to see the road in front of you, it's just that steep.

That looks really scary stuff!! Much as I'd love the views, I think the 'adventure' of it would be more than I could cope with!
