Thread: Plans for the long weekend?

We seem to be a sad lot in seq .... It's a long weekend and no-ones 4wding ?

Bribie Island is always an option. Across the central track & back down the beach. Kids can swim in the lagoons along the beach. Central track can be a bit of a challenge.

Did Bribie last weekend - beach both ways though

Heading to fraser! Planed before I realised it was a long weekend then was considering not going as it will be a bit hectic. Decided to go anyway and hope for the best

Bloomfield track & around Cooktown for the weekend. Always carry the rods and if we catch something then dinner is sorted, otherwise the pork belly roast is the preferred camp oven favourite.

Any suggestions

Spicers Gap track is a fun short trip and then you can walk to Governors Chair along the old convict road that is blocked to traffic. Happy to join you if you want to do it on Mon, as alrerady have family commitments for Sat/Sun.


Last time we did it with a return trip via Condamine Gorge.


Some bitumen, but still quite a scenic trip.

Spicers gap track is quite short (less than hour) unless there's been heavy rain.


Condamine Gorge track is about an hour, but has many spots to stop along the way so could be half a day. If heavy rain probably forget it due to the 13+ creek crossings that flash flood !


Add about 2-3 hours for travel(bitumen) to/from and inbetween both tracks.
