G'day Cobber,

When I created the Treknotes for the Bloomfield Track, I started at Cape Tribulation and headed north.
While I didn't experience any adverse conditions, the drive was not quite "easy" either. A few weeks earlier to my trek, someone attempted the causeway crossing (which was under water) at the Bloomfield River and was washed sideways into deep water. Fortunately, when the river is flowing fast like this, it tends to keep the "lizards" away, but boy, I think the driver would have needed to change their undies afterwards.

Sometimes the trip is a "walk in the park" and sometimes it is undo-able, due to high water in the creek/river crossings.

Unfortunately, the road will probable be completely sealed in due time and another great country trek will be gone forever.


Bill.

We did it a week ago from South to North and it was quite challenging mainly due to the very steep hills. There was next to no water to cross. The road is very windy so you need to keep your wits about you but its not too bad. The very steep sections are concreted so you can get traction. The only problem I had was the Nissan is loaded up as it is our house so she struggled with power. Stalled out in first a couple of times so had to go to low range to get her moving and crawl up the hills in that gear. Beautiful country for the first part but then it gets a bit boring. The Lions Den pub is a must see and worth the drive just to have a beer there

Semis on the Bloomfield Track? :-)

That will be the day :-)

Just a note - The Bloomfield Track 4 x 4 section is from Wujal Wujal to Cape Tribulation and Semis do not use this section. Cheers Tony
