CREB Track - is it suitable for a camper trailer

Thanks Jim, he is a very experienced driver, and of course we would check that the track is dry first. Was worried with what I had heard about the steepness of the tracks, so thanks for this info. By the way are you enjoying the ultimate?? We still tent it, but there have been times when a camper trailer sure seems good. Have just returned from the Hay River Track, but got prickly thorns in through the groundsheet and into the air mattress. Bugger!!

Yep the Ultimate is tops. Easy to tow and set up.
And light enough for a wheezy old Nissan to tow over the Creb
Air mattress is now considered swearing in our house!

We went from north to south and it may be less of an uphill climb in this direction I am not sure. Its certainly a beaut drive and I would do it again.

Cheers Jim

Thanks Tessa, will certainly hope for a dryer 'dry season' next year. Jan

You are referring to the Bloomfield track (coast rd), not the Creb Track. They are not the same tracks.

yeap, motorbiikes are a handful on a wet creb track!
Came back thru once from home rule, and was fine at the start, then it closed in near the top - clouds, drizzle etc.
Came across a bloke & young kid on a motorbike, who could not get up the hill. Wet hard clay, (and it's not as steep on the north side as it is on the south side). Only way we got his bike up was to tie a long rope to it , and skull-drag it from the top (where it was flat & you didn't fall over). We took his kid out the rest of the way (he was doubling him on the bike!), and had to leave the bloke to ride the rest on his own, after he drowned the engine on the next creek crossing. Showed him what he needed to do to get it going again, but with the rain starting to set in, If I did not get out of there quick smart, I would be in there for a few days. Waited back at the Daintree village, and advised authorities of the Biker in there that may not get out.Well, after a couple of hours, the biker turned up at the daintree, totally covered in mud. All good in the end, but by christ that track will bite you in the wet stuff.
Since then heard all sorts of stories about dramas in the wet - hardcore 4wd's with chains gettting stranded - bike riders stranded

cheers
