Bloomfield track

Havent done it since November last year but could have done it in a standard Falcon....easy! With your Rodeo you will do it with the greatest of ease.

About a month ago- no problems..not a track as such, it's a road. Even tourist buses (well the 4wd variety). Could do it with a 2wd...Not real adventurous !!

If it rains stay away.

Up there 3 months back with a loaded camper trailer and the Jackaroo - steep as hell in places, but a smooth graded surface (with a few minor washouts from rain) - solo vehicles set up for bush travel should have no issues in any weather - you won't need your rock crawling hardware - conventional 2wd vehicles would be ok too in the dry - when towing though, having to stop or back up (for oncomings) would present real issues in my view - first low in 4wd would be needed to get going again.

Thanks for the replys they have been very helpful. I was hopeing it would be a bit of a challenge though. It sounds a bit to easy lol. Might think of some other options in that area

The drive from Cairns to Cooktown via the track is a spectacular drive! Yes it is very steep in places but as said if dry no problems. As for doing it in a Falcon or such, maybe, but with rocks the size of bricks at the water crossings and water well above your knees sometimes, i wouldn't try it.

We are heading up that way in 4 week in our Disco TD5 and towing our off road camper trailer so hopefully it will be nice and dry.

If you are back before we head off Matt (leaving Newcastle on 20/9/07) can you give and update on how you went.

We were there about 6 weeks ago and I agree with the earlier comments. Only additional info I would give is to be very aware of the motor bike brigade up there. We saw more bikes on the track than cars and some of them are a bit heavy on the right hand and a bit light on in the brain department.
