CREB TRACK
« Reply #25 on: June 03, 2012, 08:20:36 PM »
I done the CREB on a big fully loaded motorbike. I found little red the only one worth stressing about. I got airborne a few times as I had entered a rut and couldn't slow down. I sure put on a show for the 4wd guys at the bottom.
I found it pretty straight forward with 1wd and single disc brakes.
I got into a few conversations with drivers asking how I expected to get a bike through being it was a big loaded bike but I didn't find it too hard.
The bulldust after the waterfalls was a pita.

Hello everyone, I just got off the phone (9.20am 18/06/2012) to the Cairns Regional Council, Mossman branch and the CREB track is still closed. At present they were saying closed until early July but will depend on rain, later opening if more rain comes our way.

Cheers duggie.

It might be worth mentioning that all three of us that did the CREB last year had front and rear lockers and mud tyres........not saying that their a MUST bit it sure helped in a few spots with 1.5t of camper on the back.

we did it also with our camper but we went North to South. It had just opened the day we got there as well and like the others say it is a bit of work towing. we also have a locker up front and a decent LSD in the back. I would not have made it with out the locker I don't think on one or two hills only.

Now Kirsty laughing that the creb track is closed is very disrespectful especially to your man. Really he is excited to see me  ;D

What annoys me is this sort of posting, on another forum.
http://www.patrol4x4.com/forum/trips-touring-treks-23/cape-york-report-2012-pic-heavy-83267/
 I know he said the gate was open but open by whom.

The Cairns council have said on several occasions that they would like to close the track permanent basis, as to the running upkeep. The last thing we need is to give them a good reason to do so.
