Okay, picture this: Mount Useful, rising to a cool 1,436 meters in Victoria's Gippsland region. You'll find it tucked away in the Mount Useful Natural Features and Scenic Reserve.

Heads up, the road to the top is unpaved. But trust me, it’s worth it for the views. Once you're up there by the fire and communications towers, you can see all the way to Bairnsdale and Lake King, like 100 km away!

The road's a bit of a goat track in places. It's narrow, and there are a few spots where it kicks up pretty steeply. The climb from Springs Road is only about 750 meters, with a 40-meter elevation gain. So it's not too bad, and generally open all year, though it might be temporarily closed during winter if the weather turns nasty.

Ultimate 4wd destination: Tukino Skifield in NZmoderate

Ultimate 4wd destination: Tukino Skifield in NZ

🇳🇿 New Zealand

Craving adventure in New Zealand's North Island? Then point your 4WD towards Tukino Skifield! This hidden gem sits high up on Mount Ruapehu, an active volcano in the Waikato Region. The adventure starts on State Highway 1, where you'll turn onto the unpaved Tukino Access Road. This 13.2km (8.2 mile) track climbs 634 meters, averaging a 4.80% gradient with some ramps hitting 11%. You'll gain some serious altitude to reach the skifield at 1,705m (5,593ft)! Keep in mind this isn't your average Sunday drive. The road is only suitable for 4WD vehicles during winter and a gate blocks access in summer. Snow can strike at any time, making the road impassable even with chains. Always check the forecast and road status before heading up. Pack your gear and be prepared for anything! The views are epic, but safety comes first on this rugged climb up the side of a volcano!

The road to Stokes Hill Lookout, the best sunset spot of Australia

🇦🇺 Australia

Okay, adventure time! Let's talk about Stokes Hill Lookout in South Australia. Perched high up in the Flinders Ranges, this natural viewpoint sits at a cool 737 meters above sea level. Getting there is part of the fun. The 1.9km road from Flinders Ranges Way is all unpaved – think steep, narrow, and rocky dirt track. You don't need a serious off-roader; 2WD, AWD, and 4WD vehicles should be fine, but I wouldn’t try towing anything up there. It climbs 71 meters, so expect gradients of around 3.73%, kicking up to 9% in places. At the top, you'll find a small parking area and views that are simply incredible. Seriously, it's a 360° panorama of Flinders Ranges National Park, including the iconic Wilpena Pound. Sunset up here? Unforgettable. This spot is popular for good reason: the views are just next level!

How long is Oodnadatta Track?

🇦🇺 Australia

Okay, so you're heading to South Australia and want an epic outback adventure? Check out the Oodnadatta Track! This legendary dirt road stretches for 622km (386 miles), connecting Marree in the south to Marla in the northwest, offering a real alternative to the Stuart Highway if you're heading to the Northern Territory. So, how tough is it? Well, most vehicles can handle it when it's dry, but a 4WD will make the journey way more comfortable, and it's a must if there's been any rain. Think well-maintained gravel, but watch out for washouts, sandy patches, potholes, and those bone-jarring corrugations, especially between William Creek and Oodnadatta. You'll also be crossing a few creeks and rivers, usually dry though! When's the best time to go? Aim for April to October. Trust me, you do NOT want to be out there between November and March – it's brutally hot. How long will it take? Non-stop, you're looking at 11-13 hours, cruising at around 60-80 km/h. But you'll definitely want to stop and explore! This track follows an old Aboriginal trading route and the scenery is stunningly semi-desert. You'll be skirting the southern edge of Lake Eyre National Park, passing through outback settlements like William Creek and Oodnadatta. Keep an eye out for the remnants of old railway sidings and telegraph stations, like Coward Springs Campground (with its artesian spa!) and Curdimurka. Plus, there are tons of natural springs along the way, fed by the Great Artesian Basin. It's the perfect introduction to outback driving!

A legendary drive to Arthur's Pass in NZhard

A legendary drive to Arthur's Pass in NZ

🇳🇿 New Zealand

Arthur's Pass, nestled high in New Zealand's South Island, clocks in at 739m (2,425ft) above sea level. You'll find it straddling the border between the wild West Coast and Canterbury regions, smack-dab in the heart of Arthur's Pass National Park. This route, now known as State Highway 73 or the Great Alpine Highway, was originally a Maori trading path. Imagine this: back in 1866, it was carved out of the landscape by hand to connect Hokitika and Christchurch after gold was discovered. Driving Arthur's Pass is a must-do in New Zealand. This iconic road climbs to over 900 meters, showcasing the most dramatic scenery the Southern Alps have to offer. Think incredible engineering feats – viaducts, bridges, rock shelters, and even waterfalls channeled into chutes. Heads up: petty theft from vehicles has been reported. The road is paved the whole way, and while breathtaking, it can be a bit of a white-knuckle ride, especially in winter. Snow and ice are common, and chains might be necessary. Rainfall is high, and snow is frequent in winter. Freezing temps are often encountered. The pass has been known to close for extended periods due to weather or landslides. While improvements have been made to visibility and curves over the years, the Otira Gorge and Arthur's Pass road can still be a challenge. The road gets seriously steep in places, hitting gradients of up to 16%! The pass stretches for 44.6 km (27.71 miles) from Jacksons on the West Coast to Bealey. You'll cross 11 bridges along the way. Allot about 45 minutes for the drive, and consider making Arthur's Pass your base for exploring the surrounding national park!
