Mt Mulligan - Kondaparinga Track

The Kondaparinga Track near Mount Mulligan offers 4WD enthusiasts a refreshing medium-difficulty adventure that combines river crossings with scenic Queensland bushland. This 14.6 km route rewards drivers with genuine water-crossing challenges that test your vehicle handling without overwhelming inexperienced off-roaders. You'll navigate multiple river passages where water depth and current conditions can vary seasonally, making each visit feel distinctly different. The terrain is well-suited for learning water-crossing techniques in a relatively forgiving environment.

As you progress along the track, you'll discover the natural beauty of the Mount Mulligan region, with native vegetation and open woodland creating an engaging driving experience. The absence of steep grades means you can focus on line choice and water crossings rather than wrestling with extreme angles. However, don't let the moderate difficulty fool you—proper tyre pressure adjustment and recovery equipment are essential before heading out. Water levels after rain can transform the river crossings into more serious obstacles, so checking local conditions beforehand is crucial.

This trail is ideal for intermediate 4WD drivers looking to build confidence in off-road conditions. The 20-minute completion time suggests a steady pace, but plan for longer if you're stopping to assess water crossings or taking photographs of the scenic surroundings. The Newtracs app can help you navigate the exact route and track your progress through this rewarding Queensland adventure.
