Hi, I was wanting to find out if there is any trials clubs/ events happening in Queensland Australia.

I am hoping to go and live there for a couple of years with my aunt so was wanting to know if i can keep riding when i get over there,

she lives in Cooktown quite far north so around that area,

Thanks very much for any help and advice people can give,

Fray

Gday Fray, have a look at http://www.trials.com.au. That might get you started.

Cheers,

Cooktown is a great place for riding a trials bike, but is a long way from the closest trials competitions. There are trials riders in Cairns which is only a few hours drive and there is a group who ride trials bikes together and who ran one trial in 2009 in Townsville, which is about 8 hours drive from Cooktown. The major trials centres are in the South East corner of the state near Brisbane and near Gladstone on the Central Qld coast. Gladstone would be about 17 hours drive from Cooktown and Brisbane about 25 hours drive from Cooktown.

You will find that long-distance dirtbike touring is very popular in the North end of Queensland and there are also very good MX and Pony Express events in the area.

Okay thanks for the replys, is there like common land there where you can ride on, as over here you need to ride on private land so can you just ride? And how much are bikes going for in aus?
