CHAOS IN COFFS - Roothy

Coffs Harbor? Should it be called the 4WD capital of Australia? Hmmm, that's a big call in a country so huge and with so many wonderful adventures to have but following the old network of trails up behind the Coffs coast is bloody amazing to say the least. I did plenty of dvds with various people along for the drive around the hinterland over the years but this was one of my favourites. And I reckon you'll see why - the bush was insane, the tracks incredible and the mighty 350 Chev powered Red Truck 40 Series ploughed through like the beast she was!
Tell you what, those pioneers were tough bastards. The hills behind the beach are some of the steepest and most densely forested this side of Sydney’s Blue Mountains. Yet that’s where the timber and gold was so armed with little more than banana knives and spades they hacked their way through country so wild even the aborigines avoided it.
Rain, and torrential downpours at that, is a bit of an issue in the back hills of Coffs. Combine soft soils, steep hills and valleys and buckets of water and pretty soon you’ve got some of the most eroded tracks around.
There’s what’s left of log shoots and pioneer prospecting tracks all through these hills and they make for some of the most exciting driving anywhere in Australia. Some have been graded up as forestry access tracks which means there’s usually a ‘safe’ way in or out, but for the more adventurous four wheel driver, these are just transport sections to the tough stuff. You could get seriously lost out here but in the old days, as long as a man had his rifle, his dog and some luck he could stay bush for months.
For the 4wd'er it's all rainforest, rocky tracks, mud holes, wet and greasy clay hills, mud holes, washed out rutted climbs and, err, more mud holes. Within a few kilometres of our kick off point we dived straight in to some dense rainforest and began climbing a track that was more suited to goats than fourbies. Check it out -
