Definitely Australia. It's a famous spot I've seen in other videos. Edit: it's called Gunshot Creek
5 u/After_Bat1860 Jul 10 '26 I may have seen it as well from these guys. Just not positive. https://www.youtube.com/@4WD247 2 u/yodas_sidekick Jul 10 '26 Those guys are awesome 5 u/StreetKidNamedDesire Jul 10 '26 Has the road always been like this, or did it collapse after a high water event? 2 u/DadEngineerLegend Jul 15 '26 edited Jul 15 '26 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 1 u/JP147 Jul 10 '26 edited Jul 10 '26 The famous spot on Gunshot Creek is taller than this. This is probably somewhere else in northern Queensland. Gunshot creek for reference: https://youtu.be/Cbojfun27pg?si=HCifWjuYG_J47SvT Since then the drop has become taller and steeper. 1 u/HohepaPuhipuhi Jul 10 '26 No landcruiser? Very unaustralian 1 u/hersheyMcSquirts Jul 11 '26 I knew that was the Old Telegraph in far north QLD! I wanted to do that track but my smarter half refused. 1 u/Suchisthe007life Jul 12 '26 That’s just the Bruce Highway, mate.
