Conondale Range: Booloumba Creek and Imbil State Forest

Forest roads and creek crossings through Conondale National Park and Imbil State Forest west of Kenilworth, with camps along Booloumba Creek and at Charlie Moreland, and the longer Sunday Creek Road across to Jimna. Past the bitumen it is high-clearance 4WD country, and the roads close without notice after heavy rain.

Permits No permit to drive; QPWS camping permits for Booloumba Creek (Conondale National Park) and Charlie Moreland (Imbil State Forest).

Before you go Check QPWS park alerts before you go. After heavy rain the roads close without notice and the creek crossings rise fast, so check the depth of each one before you drive it.

What the trip asks of your 4WD

In the order a fitter would raise them, each with the reason. Up to three parts that fit for each, the first already chosen; swap any of them, or mark one you don't need.

Build it for your 4WD

Your rego or your model, and every part below is one that fits it. Until then you see the gear that fits any 4WD; the parts made for one vehicle wait for yours.

Rego · fastest

We look up the make, model, series and engine from the plate. We keep the plate and the vehicle details, never the owner’s, for 90 days, so you aren’t asked twice.

Make & model

  1. 1 · Suspension & GVM

    Steep, narrow sections into the Booloumba camps and rutted forest roads need high clearance.

    Build the suspension for your 4WDLift, load and the engineer's rules for your state, specced for the vehicle and what it carries.

  2. 2 · Recovery

    Clay roads turn slippery after rain, so carry a snatch strap and recovery boards.

    • 3 · Lighting & 12V

      A dual battery keeps the fridge running at the unpowered creekside camps.

    • 4 · Storage & racks

      Drawers or a roof rack keep a weekend of camping gear secure on steep, rough roads.

    Each of these is made for one vehicle, so the parts show once we know yours.

The trip asks for these; the rest of the rig is yours to choose. Build the whole rig for this trip.
