THE CREB TRACK

I am probably a few days late to announce that the CREB Track is finally open for this season!!!

This track is great fun, full on four wheel drive adventure (between Daintree Village just south of Cape Tribulation and Wujal Wujal south of Cooktown - basically inland from the coastal Bloomfield Road).

The only downside of this track is that most of the year it is closed!

It is closed for the Wet Season from November each year and reopened as soon as the conditions allow in the Dry. But it is a rough track and not one of the earliest ones to open, plus the track is very sensitive to rains any time of the year and often gets closed after rains in the middle of the Dry season.

So this is big news - it is finally open now!!!

It can close any time again if it rains enough, so if you are in the area and want to do it, do it NOW.

Only last year I missed out by putting the plans off a few days too long and the track closed again after having been open, so don't make that mistake.

OTHER TRACKS

Other smaller tracks are also now open. Cape Melville is open, including the Starcke - Wakooka track. Hodgkinson and Palmer River Goldfields tracks are open. And the tracks around Kowanyama and Pormpuraaw are open. And of course, all the bigger roads are open (just remember that the road conditions can change very quickly).
