Rosenberg Road

This short but punishing 0.3 km stretch features an extraordinary 67% grade that will demand everything your vehicle and driving skills can offer. You'll find yourself navigating terrain that separates capable off-roaders from the merely curious, with steep ascents that require precision steering and serious traction to conquer.

The Queensland landscape surrounding this trail offers rugged beauty typical of the region, but your attention will be firmly fixed on the dramatic incline ahead. You should approach with a vehicle that's properly equipped for extreme grades—low-range gearing, good ground clearance, and quality off-road tires are essential.
