Private or club property is a great solution!

If you want that sort of peace and quite, go where it's not a public common, because you wouldn't believe, in a public common you may well find.........people

I do as often as i can, but that doesn't stop others from finding the same spot and bringing the noise

If you are close to caboolture they have organised rides at the showground on Friday nights. Its only a flat track but its where my son started off.

There is also The Farm at Blackbutt if he is still going. John is the bloke that owns it and IS strict with the rules. Last time I rang him he had closed as there had been a fair bit of damge done by the floods earlier this year Google dirt track cowboys and the contact info for The Farm is there.

Another one is at Kenilworth. Google Parklands mx. There is a good little beginners track there and a canteen and a few shady trees. No camping there though that I know of.

Glendon Station is pretty good too but I haven't seen the peewee track as I ride with my son. They have on site vans and camp sites. Glendon is about 30 km west of warwick on the goondiwindi road. Glendon also have a web site.

Keep them safe it's a great sport regardless of what the knockers say.

I dont know why I got flack.....I think some of you guys just comment here for the sake of it....or for recognition.
an accredited club offers you the following.....
public liability
proper riding instruction
legal venues to ride in
full first aid if required
support and advice to parents
opportunities to compete and improve
technical assistance
plenty of opportunity for "bonding" both with dad and other riders
social activities for children and parents
Isn't that a better thing for everyone instead of going 2 hours out of Brisbane somewhere, possibly annoying someone?

Yes, all positives, but solely doing so with a club limits time to given days etc, it's not that's a bad idea, but what's wrong with sticking the kids on their bikes in a paddock somewhere? Who cares if it bothers someone, they are having fun, learning to ride, should be supported, when they get older it gives them something fun to do that isn't loitering the streets or sitting inside

There is a bike track on Neurum Road, about 20 K's past my place of employment. Go to Woodford and take the Neurum Road, which comes in on the left just as you exit the town, follow the road out past Villeneuve and you will see the track on the left. NOTE: If you arrive at Kilcoy you must consider the fact that you may have missed it.

I agree, too many precious hypocritical people out there. Not ok for kids to be riding a mini bike, but ok to have a V8 or diesel running. The vast majority of the people who object are genuine hypocrits.
I do agree they should be supervised and show a bit of respect, not riding through the bush and camps etc, but they should be allowed to enjoy their chosen activity as well.
If you want to camp in absolute peace, buy your own property or camp where bikes and generators are not allowed.

You can not be for real. Most clubs have way to many restrictions for just teaching kids to ride. I am as qualified as anyone to teach my kids to ride, why would I want to pay someone else to do so? I would really like to know what you call acredited training? There is no such thing at this level. Generally you are expected to ride competition Motocross and not everyone wants to do that. There are very few clubs with property that just allow paddock or trail riding.
On the basis of this type of argument you should not be allowed to take your LandRover camping either. Maybe you should only take your LandRover to designated 4WD parks.
Small minded, hypocritical, arrogant approach.
