Old Mining Access Road

You'll discover a fascinating glimpse into Queensland's outback heritage along the Old Mining Access Road near Cameron Corner. This remote track winds through the rugged landscape that once serviced mining operations, offering 4WD drivers a chance to explore industrial history while tackling genuine off-road conditions. The 4.4 km route takes you through authentic bush terrain where you'll encounter rocky sections, corrugated surfaces, and potentially challenging ground conditions that vary with weather and seasonal changes.

The scenery captures the stark beauty of the far western Queensland borderlands, with expansive views across semi-arid country dotted with sparse vegetation. As you navigate the track, you'll experience the genuine driving challenges that come with unmaintained access roads—uneven surfaces demand steady vehicle control and good ground clearance. Before heading out, ensure your 4WD is well-maintained with proper tire pressure for off-road conditions, carry adequate water and recovery equipment, and check current track conditions as weather can rapidly alter ground stability. The remote location means limited mobile coverage, so inform someone of your plans and consider downloading offline maps through the Newtracs app to ensure you stay oriented in this isolated region.
