The Springs 4×4 Park – home to the notorious “Beer O’Clock Hill” climb – has been listed for sale, giving off-road enthusiasts and investors alike the chance to take on one of Queensland’s best-known 4WD destinations.

Located near Warwick on the Southern Downs, the 665-hectare property has become a drawcard for four-wheel drivers seeking challenging terrain and weekend escapes. Current owners Lucas and Michelle Bree purchased the land in 2022 and have since operated the park, building its reputation as a go-to spot for tough tracks and family-friendly camping.

Lucas Bree said the decision to sell was not an easy one. “This has to be one of the toughest, hardest posts, and biggest decisions – if not of my life. It’s something we haven’t done lightly,” he said. Bree added that the move was partly prompted by the upcoming arrival of a grandson, as well as new personal goals. “I’ve got some pretty big stuff lined up that I want to do, with Team Bree Offroad.”

Just under three hours’ drive from Brisbane and 25km south of Warwick, The Springs offers a mix of easy to extreme trails across granite hills, forest gullies and open bushland. Panoramic lookouts, seasonal creeks and waterfalls, and abundant wildlife make it more than just a 4WD destination. Facilities include a main campsite accessible to both 2WDs and 4WDs, hot showers, toilets, drinking water and a small kiosk, while dogs, bikes and campfires are welcome.

Alongside its rugged terrain, the park is best known for “Beer O’Clock Hill” – a Saturday afternoon tradition where drivers pit their rigs against a steep climb in front of cheering crowds. 

Earlier this year, the GWM Cannon Alpha became the first ever PHEV to reach the summit. The Kia Tasman also proved its off-road credentials on the same climb.
