Review from a 4wders perspective :
We entered for our 3rd trip to the park from the Gladstone side and made our way easily to the crash zone.
Easily completed with a regular 4wd and some attention.
There is phone reception at a couple places in the park (crash site car park and a few other spots)
We then continued on to complete the loop track which is for the more experienced /capable. It's definitely worth the drive for those that can complete it. There's a nice view along the way overlooking the valley. There's a few low range sections where the track gets cut up by less experienced people wheel spinning up the rocky sections but overall easy enough to complete with the right wheel placement.
We then decided to head out to Biloela via the Razorback track which is a must do for those that are into 4wding.
It starts off easy and then progresses down the Ridge and has some scraggly spots with some holes and large rocks that could cause damage if not paying attention. It gets a lot more 'raw' the further you get away from the camp grounds. By the time you get to the bottom you get to drive along a dried river bed which would be nice after some rain If you're after a challenge, definitely enter from the Biloela side and make the climb up into the national park. You won't regret it.
For those less experienced but still keen, Exit the park towards Biloela, it'll be a lot easier, yet still challenging. And the view is better than the rest of kroombit that we've discovered. There's several side tracks along here that we didn't have time to explore but may be worth a look. Several great spots to stop and get photos. Too bad you can't camp along here because there's lots of great spots 😉

Read moreI crunched this into maps to check the distance at exactly the final intersection that decision is possible without backtrack, and just went with the signs as phone loaded maps and distance and would make final decisions then, while waiting and driving, I drive & wait, and one soon realises that road requires more attention than the stoopid device, by this stage has been reset 3 times thrown 2ce, found a miracle sticky tape to put back to a 1pce, back in case, and decided to park responsibly to avoid further carnage or phone replacements, I reached the 100 mark mid-covid, celebrated this by replacing the last 2 in the river, the vow to remain single since has been fruitful. A couple more restarts and some head scratching, no specs and the rest, would see the backsteps to where I can get where I need without GPS, calm tf down and just roll home. About 5mins into the backtracking the device is getting bombarded with pings and realise I was simply in a dark spot, standard for me, set maps homeward and it's asking me to rate the K-Tops National from my park up at the Old Hall/loo stop in the little town with the strange name. I was so close, ha, standard. Those gold star are for all who finished this pointless story but feel...
Read moreAn amazing place to visit and camp. Surreal environment with staggering views! We camped overnight at The Wall, visiting the wreckage of 'Beautiful Betty' and the Kroombit Tops lookout.
A 4WD is highly recommended for the majority of the track, with The Wall and the wreckage being inaccessible by a 2WD.
There's a couple Mobile Reception points marked out along the track - which all genuinely work - that can be used for emergency or social purposes.
A fantastic trip,...
