For starters you follow the signs to the Cedar
Park
Rainforest Resort,
but once you come to the
sign above,
your turn right and not left to the resort.
Soon after the Y intersection you come to the first creek crossing.
There will be about 10 of
them along this
road, so even if you don't need to use your 4WD gears, you
do
need high clearance.
Then you drive through some beautiful
eucalypt forest, ...
... until you come to a Dinden
National
Park sign.
After several creek
crossings
(which in fact are all of the same creek called Clohesy
River), you
come to the Clohesy
River Fig
Tree.
It is
smaller than the more famous Curtain Fig Tree near Yungaburra and Cathedral Fig Tree on
Danbulla Forest Drive, but it is still an impressive fig tree definitely
worth a stop.
There is a short
boardwalk around it, which does not take you long.
After the fig tree the track
continues,
...
.. gradually becoming
hillier and
narrower, ...
... as the Clohesy River Road continues crossing creeks.
The further up you get the lusher gets the rainforest, ...
... and highest up the track gets quite small.
In the end of the track
you get quite
close to Lake Morris, but the track is cut off by gates.
Clohesy
River Road still makes a nice drive despite that.
