Starke track Nth QLD

Wow four days for that trip! Man that sure is keeping up the pace. What have you got planned for fuel? We saw a couple of bikes at Lions Den last year waiting for fuel as they were then going to the CREB track, then Daintree as their next fuel stop but they were worried they'd fuel out before Daintree.

643,

It is highly unlikely that you can accomplish this in May 2016.
The CREB is not normally deemed open until June at the earliest, this year opened in July then closed until August for bridge building.

Starcke can be got to, but NPWS normally wont be opening access to Kalpowar until around July.

As far as "anything special that you should not miss", with only 4 days, reality means you may need to even bypass Melville and Bathurst proper and stick to the main track as I am sure that NPWS will have gated Melville off until late June.

Keep an eye on Cook Shire Road closures (click here) as its one of the most accurate for the Cape.

Good luck though, keep checking with the Rangers and Cook Shire.

Mate I went along Starkes track around 2009 and the track was good-- all things considered Good, Went back july this year and as you may be aware there has been a fair bit of rough weather the last couple of years and it shows on the track, the track has been water damaged , trees across the track forcing you to weave of the track into the bush 90% of the time, While i still enjoyed the trip again it was very slow and if I may suggest ,on a bike with a moderate rider dangerous!!!!!!!!! Please take a little more out there as it can be different dodgeing cattle and other wildlife on narrow tracks with every posability of someone coming the other way.

Keep Well
