Hi all,
Does anyone know for sure if you can still legally go driving around the pine forest in Logan or has it been closed.
Cheers

By the reading i have come across on other forums, I would say Illegal
Cut out of another forum posting legal and illegal bike riding areas
Logan Village Pine Forest-Illegal
Great riding, Can get dusty if it hasn't rained for a couple of weeks/months. Lots of traffic, be careful of 4x4's & other bikes, keep to the left where possible & slowing down for an intersection is a must!
Police will blitz the area every now & then, usually giving out warnings(depending on attitude from yourself & other riders). I believe a rider has been killed in an accident with a 4x4 here.
Most people enter via the 'power lines' Which is off Waterford-Tambourine Road, just past Camp Cable Road.

That's what I thought when you rang on saturday mate .. wasn't sure it was open slather down there and didn't want to give you wrong advice an you end up wearing a fine ... Pure luck that I was right about it, but always better to err on the side of caution with track access in populated areas etc.
Thanks to Todd for dragging out the information!!!
when i lived in tamborine 100 years ago
if you were caught in there the old sarge would march me .....er other people straight back home for a floggin .......so i was told hahahahaha
HELL NO !!!!!!
As far as im aware, Devine Homes own the Logan pine forest land in question, (not sure what this means with regard to the land/track under the powerlines ?) oh.....just for the record, the Bike rider deaths had nothing to do with 4x4s (see link/s below)

I doubt Devine care about ripping up the dirt, as they would surley be bulldozing most of it to make room for housing, but they would obviously need to refuse entry "everyone" to avoid liability claims against them.
Interesting, the link to boostloosing thread has Binnies road Ripley as illegal ,when it is mapped as a road, perhaps they are refering to the tracks further off this road, or the fact they have no registration on their dirt bikes, so are not allowed on "any" roads ?
OK as local resident, here is the law as often published in local papers.
"The Pine Forest is privately owned property, and anypersons found tresspassing will be charged."
It has been thought that the power line access was open to registered vehicles.
They have attempted to close the access to this area by building a dirt wall closing the entrance to power lines. It hasn't worked.
Now the Irony is that if you look at GOOGLE MAPS there is a gazetted continued rd from logan village to tamborine, but where where the bitumen stops, a road ends sign stands? What is the law in this case?
I was going down that track and looking for old sunraysia rims until thet built the wall. Not worht the hassle I reckon.
