CREB Track

Mate

Beautiful drive, great fun, but....if it's wet...definately don't do it alone and...even if you go with someone else and it's wet....I'd wait till it's dry!

Keep the shiney side up!

have a good one.

I just flew over it in the rain two weeks ago, seen it before on the ground but have not driven the whole track. Make sure you have company, check out 4wdmonthly cape york adventure and see what you think.

We drove it south to north in September when it was dry. A very nice drive and by no way challenging. BUT I would hate to do it in the wet. It is clay based road through the hills and you would slip and slide all over the place. Check before you go to see if it is open - there are gates both ends.

G'day S.S 42,

I tried it in the wet (ran out of time and had to head home) didn't even get past the first decent climb past Roaring Meg Falls, tyre pressures down to 15, weighed well over 3tn, on cooper ST's just coudn't get traction, whilst reversing back down was stupid and touched the brakes ( was getting up too much speed ) instantly stalled the motor, so jumped on the anchors and locked all 4 wheels, it continued to slide a full car length and a half at just over walking pace before coming to a stop in the gutter.

This is just to give you an idea on how slippery it can get, if it is even mildly wet don't do it! Even if you are with another vehicle.
Ask the 4by and/or the dirt bike shops in Cairns before heading out that way.
If it's dry, it's no problem on your own as long as you have all the correct safety and recovery gear.

GET A SET OF CHAINS AND YOU'LL DO IT EASY

I am not arguing that the chains do the damage.
The argument is any vehicle will do damage if the track is that wet. If you need chains you shouldn't be driving on it- simple.

The question is simpe. Do I need to go there?

The trailer argument is much the same :-)
Do I need my trailer that much. :-)

Yes you will be safer driving with chains. The question is if the track is torn up, by vehicles driving it in the wet, will we be able to defend our "right" (?) to drive on the track, once it is closed by those who believe no vehicle should be in there. (and there are thousands of those people).
