One of Queenslands best 4WD tracks
The CREB Track, or by it’s proper name the Cairns Region Electricity Board track, links the town of Daintree with Cooktown. While there are 2 better known roads, the Cooktown Developement Road – which is fully sealed, and the Bloomfield track – a graded dirt road, The CREB track is genuinely an amazing 4WD only adventure.
Being based in Cairns, and being a travel agent , I have seen my fair percentage of beautiful rain forest, but nothing as good as this.
The journey begins with a fording of the crocodile infested Daintree River. No bridges here, it’s a drive through river crossing. In the Dry season it’s not too deep, half to one metre at most and pretty simple as river crossings go. You then start ascending the rainforest covered mountains on a single lane dirt track.
All care should be taken if there has been any weather around because the red dirt and clay can get very slippery and even impassable. Low range 4WD shouldn’t be required but you should be ready at all times.
There are a few steep hills which would be impossible in the wet. The views from the top at a couple of lookouts are breath taking – virgin rainforest as far as the eye can see.
A popular stop off point is Roaring Meg waterfall, a permit is required from the local aboriginal elders in Wujal Wujal. There is a campground there which is well maintained despite it’s detached localization.
A correctlyly maintained and set up 4WD is required. this means you must be setup for self recovery with an power or hand winch as well as high lift jack and a shovel. All vehicles should have proper tow points as well as a snap strap.
On my last visit I came upon a newer 4WD stuck on a steep mucky hill without proper recovery gear. If i hadn’t come along he could have been there for days.
So anyone out there with the correct equipment I highly advise that you check out this little bit of paradise.
