    Cooloola Way

    Hi all, I've just noticed on the most recent Cooloola Conditions Report that Cooloola Way is now open, has anyone done this trip recently?

    Thanks for that, I tried to see what roads you took using whereis.com, I've drawn in a rough "cooloola way" in blue, does that look right?

    Not sure if its open last time I went down that road there were washouts tthat would swallow a car whole. Ill try to make a mud map of an alternate road ive found through the pine forest and has a few creek crossings if you like.
    Let us know if its open when you go

    Red : tracks I followed
    Green: cooloola way
    Yellow: rainbow beach rd
    Orange: tincan bay rd

    You turn off on the red track between the pine forest and the national park and there is a big fire break between them but this can't be seen from the main road. There's no mud... That I found, it's mostly rocky and I can't remember how many creeks there were but there were a few but I wouldn't expect water unless it's rained in the last week. There is sections of mud further north in the pine forest but it's mostly sandy so well drained.

    This way would be more interesting than Cooloola way if it is open unless you like bitumen.

    We turned left off the fire break but you can follow that all the way also.

    It's been like that for a long time but sections had washed out and it's been closed for a while, when did you go on it ?
