hey penetrator, welcome to QT,
yeah as crom cruiser said heaps of good tracks towards cromwell and through central, 1 and 2 day missions,..
as for QT theres a bit of everything, queenstown hill is covered in them, the entire hill behind frankton road has tracks through it of all discriptions, also if you head up goldfields road theres a cyclone gate just about at the top which takes you over the hill to aurthers point, think it services the pylons good in there; locked gate at the point end though....
list goes on and on aye, head up GY way and you have the rees and dart rivers.... MASSIVE braided rivers to play in
see ya round

Hey pete i went for a look up there today too and came to that same gate with padlocks and a private property sign - had a look at a couple of other possible tracks but they looked like bulldozed ones for the tree felling up there and were a bit slick and muddy to try by myself today!! I wasnt sure if i was in the right spot or not??? Ill be working during the days too but will keep in touch about going for a play - hope the turbo problem wont be a major for ya
Yeah that would have been me you saw bill with the jack on the roof racks - slowly starting to get a bit of gear for myself now

everythings owned by some1 in QT , goldfields im unsure off, theres a few companys up there using it but depends if its paper road or private huh.. think there is a few owners between the two
QT hill is a good one, all tracks are extensions of the streets yet to be felled and sealed and a combo of service tracks for the lines...
big place man never had any confrontations, but guess ya just gotta make the call if you meet some1 claiming too be a "land owner"...
you found those tracks same way as me, word of mouth, so i say god bless ignorance
