This little rock crossing was at the bottom part of 'Brisbane Way tk' there were harder sections further back at the top and i chose to go down first. I recommend if you do Brisbane Way go Down first then if your game when you get to camp turn around and go back up! I didnt try going up as i didnt feel like denting my Jeep.
Going Down in one section i had one (possibly two for a split second) Rear wheels off the ground! So gives you an idea what going up would be like.
Brisbane Way is one of The Springs most popular tracks, its a reasonable length. It runs behind the Main House (not that close, not in view) and the new owner laughed when he told us he knows when someone is attempting it from all the Revs and Bang sounds ha ha

just after i crossed the Rocks here there is a chicken route to the Camp site or a short ramp out of the creek bed that goes just about vertical, of course i tried it lol, first attempt nope! had to back down which is never a good feeling on a steep incline, Second attempt with a few more Revs and Jumped right out

Default Last Pics of The Springs

This Hill is called Have a Go Hill and the owner ask that he be there before anyone attempt it (he puts a 44Gal Drum in the way)Reason being its right at the camp and too many try it pissed at night with a bit of dutch courage in them. It used to be called 6 Stubbie hill (or something along those lines) but as a new owner he thought he should change the name for obvious reasons

Not many make it as its got a slippery pebble surface and a couple of rock steps with Ruts to get over half way up. But in Second Low Range and keep up the Revs 2,500 - 3000rpm i made it easy! He was so surprised wanted me to go back up for a picture, Sure no worries, on the second time down i even stopped halfway and reversed back over the rock step
He obviously hasnt had Many Jeeps there yet eh

All these Pictures dont do the place justice, Pics never show how steep hills really are or how difficult a track is, but take my word for it there are plenty of Black and Double Black tracks to test your skills and nerve
The Snake Pit is where the Comp Trucks go apparently (there was a roll over a little while ago), i went there but stayed out of the Rock River bed where the extreme stuff is. (you can either cross the river or go up it or down it, i just crossed it)


This was my First Private 4x4 Park and i give the Springs a big Tick! Thoroughly enjoyed myself.
