Opposite Lock Cairns

Opposite Lock Cairns at 257 Mulgrave Road is the last major 4WD accessories store before you commit to the Cape York run. They stock and fit the full range: suspension upgrades, bull bars, recovery tracks, winches, roof racks, awnings, in-car electrics, and comms gear. The staff know the Cape because they live near it — ask them what’s washed out and what’s not, and you’ll get a real answer. Part of the Australia-wide Opposite Lock network, so warranty and parts support are solid.

Bungalow suburb of Cairns, easy access on the main road south of the city centre. Get here early in the week if you need fitment — Cape season (May–October) backs the workshop up fast. Verify current hours before arriving. Stock the fridge, sort the snorkel, and head north.

Last proper 4WD shop before Cape York.
