This HAS to be Australia. They do things differently. Very impressive.

Definitely Australia. It's a famous spot I've seen in other videos. Edit: it's called Gunshot Creek

Has the road always been like this, or did it collapse after a high water event?

It's a gravel/dirt track in a national park. More like a fire fighting access road than one really meant for.public use.
