The RACQ and Excavation Equipment Great Western Road Trip is back for its fifth year!
This amazing family-friendly event will take you exploring through hidden gems of the Darling Downs and our surrounding regions. The route is a secret, the food is included, the activities are planned! All you need is a 4WD and your camping gear and we'll take care of the rest!
Get ready to explore new places, eat amazing local food, meet new people and support an incredibly important cause, as you'll be helping us raise funds for the new Regional Cancer Centre, plus continue to leave an impact in our rural hospitals.
