Goat Track

If you're seeking a serious test of your 4WD's climbing ability, Goat Track near Bromelton delivers exactly that. This short but punishing 1.0 km route features relentless steep grades reaching 31%, making it a genuine challenge for experienced off-road drivers. You'll encounter terrain that demands precision driving, careful line selection, and a vehicle genuinely capable of handling extreme angles.

The trail's brief length belies its intensity—what you're undertaking here is pure ascent with minimal mercy. The landscape around Bromelton offers rural Queensland character, but your focus will be firmly on managing traction and momentum as you navigate the climbing sections. You should approach with a fully charged battery in your winch, quality recovery gear, and ideally a spotter who understands steep terrain dynamics.

This is an unrated trail with no recorded successful vehicles yet, so you'll be pushing into genuine unknown territory. Come prepared with proper tire pressure settings for grip, low-range gearing strategy figured out beforehand, and realistic expectations about whether your particular rig is genuinely suited to 31-degree grades. Goat Track isn't about scenic cruising—it's about proving your 4WD's off-road credentials on some seriously steep Queensland dirt.
