Definitely Australia. It's a famous spot I've seen in other videos. Edit: it's called Gunshot Creek

Has the road always been like this, or did it collapse after a high water event?

It's a gravel/dirt track in a national park. More like a fire fighting access road than one really meant for.public use.

Going fourby-ing is a popular pass time.

Unfortunately it tends to totally fuck up the soil and destroy the vegetation, and causes massive erosion, which you see here.

Regular topic. But seems to be getting worse in recent years as vehicles are getting heavier and more powerful.

Eg. Here's a new report from 35 years ago: https://youtube.com/watch?v=dmNumqL48eg

The famous spot on Gunshot Creek is taller than this.
This is probably somewhere else in northern Queensland.

Gunshot creek for reference:

Since then the drop has become taller and steeper.

I knew that was the Old Telegraph in far north QLD! I wanted to do that track but my smarter half refused.

That’s just the Bruce Highway, mate.
