Silkwood's Local Moving Specialists
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.
