Ozdyssey,
I agree totally with Pezza's comments. Our 4WD club, Moreton Districts Off-road spends a lot of time in that area around Imbil as it offers a huge variety of tracks and conditions to
test all levels of driver and vehicles. It is magic country that has to be seen to be believed. Rainforest abounds with an abundance of wildlife that changes at every bend. Being a working forestry area, the main tracks are also used by logging trucks which can be a bit menacing when uncounted on a blind corner. It tracks do becomes extremely slippery after even the lightest rain so always drive with caution. We had one of our vehicles roll over after a light shower due to the glassy conditions.
Remember, who will need national park permits to traverse the forestry trails.
Our favourite place to stay is at the Borumba
Dam which is just a couple of kilometres further on from the Deer Park. It is operated by the same people as the Deer Park, June and Rick Gibson who can be contacted on (07) 5484 5796. They have a great couple who caretake for them (Bob & Dawn) and the overnight prices are excellent around $7-8 per person per night. BBQ timber supplied.
Also, don’t discount the Kenilworth area as there are some brilliant tracks for all levels behind the Charlie Moreland reserve. See the
ranger station for info as this area has a lot to offer the 4WDer.
Hope this helps with your question.
Cheers,
Patrick
