Mount Isa is an exceptional destination for 4WD enthusiasts, boasting an array of trails suited to various skill levels. This region has something for everyone, such as historical landmarks, challenging routes, or breathtaking landscapes. Here are just a few of the most popular tracks in Mt Isa:
Exploring the Fountain Springs trail can be a day excursion or an extended camping adventure starting from Mt Isa. This circuit presents a captivating landscape featuring towering cliffs, mineral deposits, and exposed rock formations. Upon reaching Fountain Springs, you’ll encounter a permanent water source running through the quartzite fault line.
Located along Mount Frosty Trek, Rigby Falls poses a more challenging route due to its steep inclines, substantial rock formations, and rugged terrain. This trail is best suited for experienced 4WD drivers, and newcomers to the off-roading scene may find it slightly more time-consuming.
The path leading to the Paroo Waterhole initially offers a relatively straightforward 4WD experience that gradually grows more challenging as it spans the diverse terrain and approaches the waterhole itself. This serene oasis is conveniently situated near the stunning Paroo Range, should you wish to explore the area further.
The dual-cab Toyota Hilux is our most sought-after 4WD in Mount Isa. Renowned for its robustness and reliability, this versatile vehicle can be tailored to match your specific needs. Unsurprisingly, it has held the title of Australia’s best-selling ute for three consecutive years.
Got a larger crew or luggage to haul around your mining or construction site? Our 4WD and 2WD Toyota Hiace Commuter Buses provide ample space for 12 adults (including the driver) and are equipped with turbo diesel engines and automatic transmissions. The best part? You can drive them with a standard Australian driver’s licence! You can also reconfigure the seats to make room for tools, materials and extra cargo.
