  • Cairns Area Tracks

    Hi All,

    Now we have finally moved back to Cairns and settling in (wife back to school, as well as the eldest) I'm looking for some advice from the FNQ based members. I'd like to tackle some tracks around the area if I can convince the wife to free up some fuel money. I know about the big ones (CREB, Bloomfield, etc) up the Cape but I'm looking for more of a day trip/weekend overnighter sort of track. Somewhere we can go that is only a couple of hours from home and can be done in time to get home for dinner. The Grande is relatively stock (ATs and standard suspension only) so nothing that requires Lockers or huge lifts too. Thanks in advance for any help you lovely people can provide.

    Regards,

    Geoff

    Hey Geoff,

    There's a few options for day trips, from easy fire trails to mud runs if your keen. Mt Carbine's a good run for a bbq, there's a powerline run from Herberton to Ravenshoe which is pretty easy (weather dependent) and a couple of others. I've eased up on the 4wding at the moment cause I got a new mountain bike for Xmas, but I'm happy to meet up and go over the maps.

    Cheers,
    Dusty

        Hi Dusty,

        Thanks for that mate. I'll send you a PM when I've got a spare moment to set up something.

          Try Dalbeg, it would be the best track around the ville.

                I'm a few months new to Cairns have begun to scratch the surface in terms of tracks as well over the last couple of weekends.

                I'm keen to do the track from Herberton to Ravenshoe can anyone tell me if this is private land or if permission is needed?

                I'm also keen to meet up weekends or even weekdays for some exploration with keen members, also want to get onto the CREB when it opens up.

                  The Bloomfield track is a good run and stay ay Weary bay for the night......I did that one a couple of times when living in Cairns.........Nothing extreme just a good getaway.

                          Hey mate I know this is an old post. Im also in Townsville. A friend of mine has done the Dalbeg and loved it. He said its a good track to do to give an idea what the OTT is like. (I havent done it yet as its an overnight trip) Mt Louisa is a good place to drive around for a couple of hours, tracks of different skill levels. Olera has some good tracks and Paluma rangers as well.

                            May want to check Dalbeg before going, as the last I heard the gate has been closed. Too many people doing the wrong thing and the owner finally decided that enough was enough.
                            How many places have been closed off now because of the IDIOTS! ?????
