They do not take them anywhere off road like here. A National forest is not rugged terrain , they are just normal dirt roads. Large 5vers have disintegrated , suspensions collapsing. So people go to Off Road Caravans instead. Australia is not the US and Off Road RVing makes up a large part of activities . Many Off Road areas bigger than the whole State of Idaho. It is hard to get an idea if your are from the US or Europe
I know you're trying to impress me, but the place I grew up going deer hunting every fall had a rougher road than that for the last mile or so into camp, and I'm not exaggerating in the least. You don't seem to have a very good understanding of what the terrain in the American west is like.
Did you know that Australia is the flattest continent on earth? I realize it has a lot of dirt roads on it, but being flat makes it a lot easier to drag a trailer around because it's generally going to be easier to find places to turn around - or get around vehicles you encounter coming from the other direction.
Edit for a funny tidbit - around here we call the mountains right beside Boise the foothills. They're higher than the tallest mountain in Australia. :B
