A historic 19 km mountain road through rainforest, the Gillies Range Road provided the first vehicular route from the coast at Gordonvale near Cairns to the Atherton Tablelands. This iconic thoroughfare will celebrate its centenary in July 2026. On 11 July, a vehicle procession will depart at 8am and continue until 12 noon, travelling up the range. This four-hour window is purposefully chosen to reflect the original characteristics of the pioneering road, which featured a narrow single-direction design. The procession will terminate in Yungaburra, where an exhibition of vehicles will be accompanied by various community celebrations. The month of July offers ideal conditions, with mild weather that is particularly suitable for touring in open vehicles. Those wishing to participate with their clubs or as individual members should reach out to David Clifton via phone on 0419 783 420 or email at [email protected].
