Australia's BEST 4wd Track DESTROYED (Worse Than I thought) 

On the positive side landcruisers should be able to do it now🙂

Ngl RU-vid is at least 50% of the reson tracks are being closed

Sad to see the reds gone, had a lot of fun there a few years ago, but kudos to the operators, how many of you would have the balls to take a dozer down big red!

Probaly powerline companies clearing their tracks to service the lines.

So short version is: A private road has been used for free for years by 4x4s and now the owner/operator has decided to clean it up and close it off. I suppose thats just their perogative and the effect on tourism is not exactly their responsibility. Maybe places like the 4WD parks need to build up something similar and become the new destination for tourists.

It’s not a 4wd park mate.

Sorry buddy. But it has been explained that it is private property and owned by logging company. The government's had nothing to do with it. You can blame K.P built for his roll over plastered all iver social media.

I never got to drive it too, it was on the list of places to see and drive, RIP big red

Hey mate, when you put some barwork on the gq, could you put a Raslarr comp bar on the front and a patrol docta rear bar on it.

Your thumbnail explains it all, powerlines require access - without them our critical infrastructure suffers. 4wders will always play second fiddle to want over need.

Now please be upstanding for the minutes silence.

Been a few accidents up there. Stay strong fam ❤

Spewing. Only been back in the area a few months and was keen to do little red.

Tracks like the red twins are born out of destruction. Sure it sucks, I live 15 minutes from Mintbush and Monkeygum tracks, and we have lost ALOT of the tracks around here because of the destruction and the liabilities. Its also the cost that comes with having to clean up after the people that dont take their crap back home with them. Will also point out people from the cities keep buying "tree change" plots and these tracks end up being their daily access. So we should all chip in, buy the plots of land before the city sheep do and create our own play areas. I will be looking to do this in the next few years. Excellently constructed video, humourous and entertaining. I have however lost the ability to measure things properly after watching.

Might not have went on them myself but I’m glad there are videos about it

What tracks are left in glass house was planning on a trip up and trying to get a couple of u blokes out of the shed and show a few over a weekend meet greet and wheel like wise if u come down Newcastle I’ll show u the proper loop and the side tracks off it that look like they lead dead ends

RIP the reds. Can see why they did it though. Someone was going to die and sue the logging company or something. Mate how does the GU handle on road now with the flexi set up? I've always wondered what they are like on those windy country roads at 100km/hr. Figured there had to be a compromise somewhere?

Happens all the time in vic. Onto another issue i have how the hell did you get your 4jj1 kit out of dca because we have been waiting 6mth so far for a kit that was apparently on the shelf. The communication has be crap.

Fire Trail - yep, Logging Road - yep, Power Line Easement - yep, potential land clearing for new housing developments? I doubt it, but you never know.

A few secret spots in coffs harbour have been destroyed and flattened due to logging. Shits happening everywhere.

As a local i stoped going there year's ago to many cops these days lol

There will ALWAYS be a worker who disagrees with that he’s doing but has to feed his family so listens to the despicable orders he’s been given.

there used to be some killer tracks in Ormeau Hills. are they still around?

Now I don't wanna go to Glassy. DAMN!

Bummer. 4x4 parks wouldn't have anything that challenging, would they. Be glad you had it.

Some idiot probably tried to sue the power company that owns it. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they said f-off due to this.

Wow that’s fucken crazy what they’ve done at the glass house mountains!!! 👍🏽

I allways wanted to do these tracks now i will never be able to 😢

The fun police doing what wet blankets do. Not surprised one bit. Next thing is high fencing with cameras.

a hill that steep made of clay and only compacted with a dozer, its only gonna take a few good rains to turn it back into a wild track.

At least now I could drive little and big red in the paj 😂

Flattened back to a fire trail……

I think they've made it less safe with the 250 metre drop off at the top now

Can you imagine if each state actually create or allow for some free playgrounds?? Not private, but public one.

If it is infact private property, what's the issue? The owner of the land can maintain it however they see fit. Being gratefuit'its been open for so long for public use is not a bad deal. New tracks will be forged the fun will continue just in a different location.

Incredible, by your own admission you've never driven big red or little red, its on private property and the liability is getting too high for the land manager, you've entered a closed construction site contrary to signage and Qld WH&S legislation, but there irresponsible 4WDers out there causing the issues. Its a nice to touch to promote your sponsors, who I'm sure would be happy to be associated with the illegal incursion or "going rouge" as you put it.

WTF?!?! My dad told me about this years ago before he passed unless there's another one with the same names. I've got pictures of him and his best friend Mark in a monster CJ7. We live in the US and I was told stories about how gnarly this place was OVER AND OVER AND OVER and how different the terrain is compared to what's in our backyard. Hopefully y'all can chew in something that's just as good as I've been told it was.

The operator that made the track hats off to them great work. Blame social media and 4wd24/7 for track closures. Plus being private land and tracks does not equate to a free for all by the public. So stop sooking about it .

My guess is Powerlink did this for access.

Gonna need bigger rocks then that to stop our crew lol but we have ram 3500s to hook up to and pull that tiny rock out of the way.. winch onto it with your 4 Runner and hook to another jeep or something behind as a anchor and just move those tiny boulders

A lot of these tracks get closed because people put videos on RU-vid 4x4ing them and being idiots about it and to top it off they leave trash around because some people just have no respect for nice things we have

On the bright side you can come now during the wet.😁💯

Bags of clay breaker 😅

Mayb 1 of todays modern tracks. There have been plenty of tracks before had the same shit happen lucky its not gated as well

At least the gq can finally go to the glassy!

So they went to all the trouble of turning a washed-out track into a graded road. Then put rocks in the way to stop people using the newly graded roads. How much money was wasted doing all that work?

Seems like these days one can't have a bit of fun without telling the whole world about it. It is the consequence

Creat rain water channels and wait for it.

The way G’house is going with the boom in 4wd’ing its on the cards to be off limits for all recreational use…4wds have cause so much damage it might be time for some to get a new hobby.

all because kpbuilt had to roll down it now it gets bulldozed coz they had to post it and publicise is for a bit of clout thanks guys

Cheers kp built

looks like they improved it

Shame this has been done to yet another 4WD track. Surely going to put a dent in the tourist $$$ in the area. Maybe local councils should have a think about the $$ impact to the local community before such measures are implemented

If its owned by logging company they mite be getting ready to do some logging around there somewhere, thats what they do where i am

vice versa

thats for the logging trucks to get in i bet..

Wellcom to bigg corporate companies 😮

Could you please tell Nathan to fix his watchband up? It is super annoying by a new one for heaven sake.

Deteriorated track rectified, not a problem as it was long overdue. Problem will be if it remains locked off to the public and if as suggested below in the comments, users take it upon themselves to create new tracks off of this rectified track, well it will become locked off, want it to remain open, don't abuse your access rights, it's really simple. Don't go off the main track. Repair any damage you create, thus allowing operaters access to whatever it is the road has been repaired for.. Do this and there is little reason to lock us out. Yes, the old ways from the old days when tracks were available, repair as you go, don't chop them up so others can't pass, that's how we kept trails open in the olden days. Sorry, I'm displaying too much commonsense here for many to accept.

Private logging land and they have made the fire trails useable again stop complaining

Eventually they will close Lithgow zigzag in blue mountains aswell as Sofala and hills end Bathurst 😢😢😢😢 sad days for us real ones

It is private property owned by the logging company, can't really complain it wasn't public land.

I can understand the frustration and anger of little red and big red gorn but understand It's a service line for powerlines,an access fire trail,and acess for plantation trails. Its is used for free by everyone. And chewed out by how many 4x4's . As much as I hate closed trails I can understand why . The backlash of people useing a necessary trail for bush safety made safer for those who need it to save the bush and service the power lines is amazing . As 4x4rers we need to understand bush and work safety is abused by everyone . It is what it is. How many of the people useing those useing those tracks donate to the company who's job it is to service it it and accountable for peoples stupidity if hurt and rolled ????

PRP know their shit. Can’t hurt to see for yourself

Evl government is closing most tracks

Just posted a video on trying to drive little red literally right before it was destroyed, so sad to see.

Tracks closed cause the plantation is a company and will be logging it soon. Can blame people for it being closed but they need to grade the tracks occasonally.

Looks good, for years 4wd,s ruined it for dirt bikes...😁🤙

sad for Queenslanders spending big dollars on their built 4wds your laws are tough enough needing a mod plates...for vehicles....doesn't affect me at all living in Victoria it will be a shame for me not being able to watch the many videos on little and big red anymore

Better start voting then.

Don’t worry boys with a bit of rain and some p platers in hiluxes this track will back in no time

I'd rather a stupidly hard track get closed then the whole area

The fun Police have been at it again how dare you have fun?

Private land yeah?

Its Flogs just like you who have contributed to this in all areas across Australia

Haha best video love it

Its our inheritance, who sold it? Who thinks they own it?

Our forefathers the Anzac left us a garden a kingdom of heaven on earth, time we stood up in it. Defend your neighbour

its a fire track

Should have picked up all your trash. By trash i mean your rolled over patrols 😄

this country has gone bonkers. if i ever get the money i am ditching this POS country.

:) so sad

Just make new tracks if thet gonna close the cirrent ones

So over dramatic. It was never designed to be a purpose built 4wd track but a access track for power line workers and forestry services including fire authorities.

Someone will know who did it

RU-vidrs will be the cause of more tracks to be taken down....its obvious.

In all honesty, all that needs to happen is a couple of blokes in RIGS get a 20L of 25:1 and some saws and cut a new track away from the currently redone ‘fire track’ that the company is carrying on about. Obviously the original workman need to keep quiet who cuts it because they’ll be fined… but there needs to be HARD tracks for people to go on or you just get stuff like the ‘takeover’ cr&p in America because there’s nothing to do.

Why did they destroy it

For those that don’t know 12 feet = 3.7576 Metres

Its always the government’s way destroying our fun

Its sad...but i could see it happening...im in my 40s so was doing 4x4 wheeling when most of these RU-vidrs were in nappies...back in my day 😂 when 4x4 camping was a neich it was all about enjoying the bush in silence....big turbos, V8s, spinning tyres was done by a Holden in a industrial cul-de-sac at night, was turn and burn then go.....sorry but these young guns with tricked up 4x4s have brought the beginnings of the end... RU-vidrs following each other around the country making once an exclusive hobby to now every tom dick and harry is doing it destroying the bush....its only a matter of time and closures will spread like cancer across the country.....influencers should probably slow down a bit let the dust settle. Unfortunately the arrogance of the younger generation will be upset but for the wrong reason most only care about the bubble they live in and how the closures will effect them with views clicks and likes not actually taking responsibility there part reason why. I actually think now this industry as a content creator is like crypto there once was a time it was a sure thing of getting big subs and sponsors but like crypto there was a time it peaked things are coming down fast its an industry now that is uncertain even for the sponsors....I think people got to greedy and it's coming back to bite them....some people have made a lot of money 💰 at the cost of the bush. Government watches and people complain 🙄 cash in now before the crash 😂 at the end of the day it would be naive to think this is substantial for the long term something has to give. Think about it if tracks close the industry dies with it...so no more companies throwing flashy suspension or bling to RU-vidrs once the industry is dead or limited so will be the content so no more views.

Talk about entitled. It wasn't originally pushed in to be a 4wd playground. 🙄

FFS

😂😂😂

Unfortunately this is a powerlines track and so is privately maintained .Not much can be done to stop maintenance access to something that most rely on for their daily lives. Just be thankful they have not done it earlier (obviously some agenda for future works) and move on to somewhere else. You guys obviously have no idea of how this works. Infrastructure overrides all else so it is not the council but the energy infrastructure providers doing this. Just accept there is something planned by them and this is why it has been done. Other places to go.

Didn't even get a chance to drive any part of it, haven't even got my L's yet 😮‍💨

Worst video you’ve done Sorry brother take the good with the bad

What a shame it’s owned by a company that has every right to do what they want. lol. Combine that with all the idiots that chuck videos on RU-vid. Was always gonna happen.

Devastating 💔💔

What they have done is made it more dangerous When the people finally get back out there in all their stock ifs shitboxes in the rain they are just going to slide into the abyss that is off the side of what they have graded into a mud slide
