  • Calling all Cairns Pradopointers... Roll Call for local trails

    Is there much of a Pradopoint scene in the Cairns area? I'm pretty keen to get out and do some exploring and learning about the trails out this way. Obviously I'm keen on the CREB as soon as it's open, and I've been up through Daintree and Cape trib. and what not.

    Is anyone that's been here a while keen on doing/running a small day trip/guided tour, or having a meet up at a shed/park? Nothing serious or formal so PP members can meet up, have a chat and talk about mods, Prado's and other 4WD's and trails in the area? I know that groups often form and people are often hesitant letting newbies in on their trails or group wheeling trips.

    Anyway I'll start of by sharing what I know so far. I've been trying out the trails in Davies Creek National Park and Dinden National Park, whilst pretty tame they have been a good day out, that and if I'm not too late out I can normally make a dash for the Ice Creamery close by for some ice cream and some of their awesome Biltong to eat on the way home..

    Anyway I thought I'd get the ball rolling and see who's keen, either way I'm living in Cairns and enjoy my 4WDriving so if you ever need an extra hand to work on your Prado or 4WD send me a PM more than happy to help out when I can.

    I'm also a regular at the Smithfield mountain bike trails, Cairns Cable park, and keen to get into some hunting here.

    P.S don't make me go looking for action on an FJ forum .. those bloody things are every where here .. lol

      I'm not in Cairns but not to far away. I'm in Townsville and wouldn't mind doing something maybe in the middle. Would have to be a Saturday or Public holiday (we dont get enough of those) Sundays are out for me. Doing the Creb, Old Tele Track next year. Going to the tip cant wait.

        Did CREB on the weekend, I'm beginning to think I might have the only Prado in Cairns that goes off-road............





        Happy to be proven wrong though... 8-)

            Yeah pretty easy going, one of the big down hill descents requires a good walking to see what its all about, an then if you don't like them most of the harder stuff has the chicken track detours.

            Got on the actual river crossing about 8ish left Clifton Beach around 630am, stopped a bit as we were in convoy though.

            Difficulty right now isn't to bad, mostly low range second and then high range 1st for me and I had the tyres down at 22psi. As I said above there are detour tracks for the harder hill descents. I can't recall all of the combinations as the track goes but take mostly the left tracks when they fork for added fun, there is one that forks into 3 Left is dead end, middle is tricky potential rear tyre lifter, and right is the new detour down.

            Roaring Meg was pretty nice, we went through the camp area then parked up the back then walked to the beach area for a swim and lunch. I returned on Bloomfield and through Cape Trib. stopping along the way. Got home at 6pm. Whole day even.

                I remember visiting his rig buildup thread all the time for inspiration and he being in Cairns. I bet he'd know of some wicked spots around here with a rig like his.

                Went to Ross & Locke on the weekend. Great place for some swimming and 4WDriving. Was following my mate in his geared and locked Vitara and forgot I wasn't wheeling my Sierra but in fact the Prado ...





                oops.... rocks sliders on the cards now?
