Figbird Track

River crossings await you on the Figbird Track, a compact yet engaging 4WD adventure near Verrierdale in Queensland's stunning hinterland. This 1.7 km trail offers an intimate introduction to off-road driving, perfect for those looking to test their vehicle's water-fording capabilities without committing to a lengthy expedition. The relatively gentle terrain belies the technical challenge of navigating the waterways you'll encounter, making this an ideal training ground for developing your creek-crossing skills.

You'll find the landscape transitions between wooded sections and open terrain as you make your way along the track.
