Not all 4WD tracks are equal. Some are solid afternoon runs. Others need properly equipped vehicles and a plan if things go wrong. Contour scores every track in Queensland using the Track Accessibility Profile (TAP) for difficulty and the Recovery Risk Index (RRI) for recovery conditions - terrain, coverage, distance from sealed road - all measured at 500m resolution.

Year-round for most sealed roads. Avoid the far north (Cairns, Cape Tribulation, Atherton Tablelands) during wet season (December to April) when flooding can close access roads. Darling Downs and Granite Belt roads are best in autumn and spring.
Contour scores 4WD tracks using the Track Accessibility Profile (TAP), a 0-5 difficulty scale covering surface type, terrain, water crossings, track width, and distance from sealed road. The Recovery Risk Index (RRI) scores how difficult recovery would be if you got stuck - factoring in mobile coverage, proximity to population centres, and seasonal access. Both scores are calculated at 500m resolution.
