About Our Service

Silkwood's Local Moving Specialists

R2G removalists truck in Silkwood, Cairns

Silkwood is a small farming community on the Southern Suburbs, surrounded by banana plantations and sugar cane fields between Innisfail and Mission Beach. The town has a close-knit agricultural character, with many residents working the fertile volcanic soil of the Johnstone River district.

Properties in and around Silkwood often include farm sheds, fruit storage facilities and rural outbuildings alongside the main residence. Our team is experienced with moves that involve agricultural equipment, large outdoor items and the practical realities of rural property access on the Southern Suburbs.

The Bruce Highway passes close to Silkwood and is the main route for Cairns-bound moves, approximately 125km north. During banana harvest periods, the local road network sees increased small-truck traffic moving fruit between packing sheds and the highway. Our team works around these patterns and communicates clearly on move-day timing to keep your relocation on schedule through any delays.

Our modern trucks are clean, well-maintained, and stocked with premium moving equipment including furniture blankets, tie-down straps, dollies, and protective padding. You won't find bare timber floors or loose loads with R2G.

Tips for a Smooth Silkwood Move

Let us know about farm tracks and unsealed access.

Many Silkwood properties are reached via unsealed farm roads or driveways through banana or cane paddocks. Advise us of your full access route when booking — we'll select the right vehicle and bring equipment for soft or uneven ground conditions.

Secure loose fruit and farm goods before moving day.

If you have produce, chemicals or farming materials being moved, ensure everything is properly sealed and secured in appropriate containers before our team arrives. Loose bulk items are best consolidated into lidded bins or crates to protect your other belongings.

Wet season roads can become very soft.

Unsealed farm roads around Silkwood can become impassable after heavy rain. If your property uses an unsealed access road, check conditions the evening before your move and contact us early if ground conditions are deteriorating.

Bruce Highway travel time allows for an efficient move day.

Silkwood is 125km from Cairns on the Bruce Highway — a manageable drive that allows us to complete most residential moves in a single day. An early start from Cairns ensures we arrive by mid-morning, leaving plenty of daylight for loading and delivery.

Reviews

What Silkwood Customers Say

Real feedback from recent R2G Transport & Storage moves in and around Silkwood.

R2G moved us from a banana farm near Silkwood into a house in Innisfail. They navigated the farm tracks carefully, loaded everything including some heavy packing shed equipment and had us settled in by afternoon. Great work.
Darren W.Silkwood, January 2025
Relocated from Cairns City out to our new place near Silkwood. R2G knew the area well, found the property without any issues and unloaded quickly despite the long driveway. Really professional service.
Heather L.Silkwood, November 2024
Moved our 3-bedroom home from Silkwood to Tully. Short trip but the rural access at both ends needed careful truck handling. The R2G crew knew exactly what to do and were brilliant from start to finish.
