bloomfield road

we are booked into the big 4 too...we have a tassie number plated pajero and jayco camper trailer....come and say hi if you spot us! Thanks for that

I hope to be there this afternoon. You will recognise my unit, a Kimberley Karavan with NSW plate and bike mounted up on the front of it. See you this afternoon.
Cheers

It may have been a test before the roadworks!

We have done that trip amny times - easy peasy every time even when it was bucketing down. 2wd with high clarance would have made it every time we were there

A mate was up there last weekend and here is comments--"As far as the Bloomfield track goes - We were up there last weekend, and I was really disappointed. The last "corkscrew" decline has now been concreted, and from there all the way through to Wujal Wujal has been graded as smooth as a baby's proverbial. We passed an Excel and a VK commodore, both going the other way, and neither looking like they had encountered any trouble whatsoever! The foliage seems to be a little thinner this year, and there were a couple of spots where we could see glimpses of the ocean. Previous years the trees have been much thicker, and you had basically no view."

Thanx Matto...


Grrr!!! Enjoy the trip....

We went that way abour 2 weeks ago and the partly concreted section was a problem. This partly completed section was very narrow and only suitable for one vehicle and as it was raining the other half of the road where they had been working was quite slippery and as a result we could only use the newly concreted section.

This was OK provided there were no other vehicles trying to come from the other end and because it was not possible to see both ends it was creating problems for the traffic. We were towing a camper trailer and there was no way you could back right down the hill without problems because of the steepness, length and narrowness of road.

We were lucky as a Hilux in front of us made some downhill traffic back up and gave us a clear run, but were were told of some who had vehicle damage because they had to get off the concrete and as a result caused considerable damage to their tyres etc.

The notion that this thoroughfare be called a track ended in the early 80's when it became the Bloomfield Road.....seems like you missed the opportunity to complain by a whisker LOL
