We do not close the park during the wet. Our entry road determines who is capable to drive in the park during the wet. Only those cars who can make it over the hill in the slippery conditions can enter on that particular day.

During wet weather we ask people to stay off the grassed areas

Every track needs to be assessed individually during wet weather

The bottom 2x2 entry is closed during wet weather. If people continue to try to use this road the farmer will start locking the gate during the wet 

During this last Christmas and New Year we did not get the rain Brisbane and the Gold coast had which was great for the few people who took the chance to get away camping for the holidays. It is not uncommon for rain to be falling at Beaudesert and not at the park.

We had seventeen days of rain through the Christmas break at the park.

We normally close the right side of the range for safety reasons during wet weather.

On one particular day we had to close off both sides of the range from driving due to the conditions. We had considered whether we should close the park altogether when it rained so we decided to ask our visitors when they left the park after their days driving in wet weather.  

I questioned if there were enough tracks throughout the valley to keep them busy.

They all said they had a great days driving. The creek run and play area were especially challenging and fun in the wet.  

The seventeen visitors cars ranged from stock standard to modified so we feel there is sufficient to offer everyone a day’s enjoyment during wet weather so the park will continue normally during the wet
