Wee Macgregor Tramway

You'll discover a fascinating piece of Queensland's mining heritage on the Wee Macgregor Tramway, a short but historically rich 4WD route near Kuridala. This trail takes you along an old tramway route that once served the region's coal industry, offering a unique blend of history and off-road driving. The relatively gentle terrain makes it accessible for medium-skill drivers while still delivering authentic outback character.

The 0.7 km drive unfolds across relatively flat ground with minimal steep sections, making it an ideal option if you're looking for a quick, confidence-building route or want to combine it with other nearby trails. You'll traverse terrain that showcases the region's industrial past, with remnants of the tramway infrastructure visible throughout. The scenery captures the rugged, sparse beauty typical of inland Queensland, with native vegetation and open ground providing good visibility for navigation.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good working order and carry basic recovery gear—even moderate trails can present unexpected challenges. The short duration means you'll complete this route in around three minutes of active driving, though you'll want extra time to explore the historical features and take photographs. Check current conditions via the Newtracs app before departure to confirm the track remains accessible.
