Possible Trip to Qld

[MEGOMONSTER]

I have never driven to Qld wondering what the best and fastest way from Victoria and as people are preparing for Neerim just thought I'd ask. Perhaps a town by town road trip mapping out.

Depends where you want to finish up, I'd go inland on the way up and come home via the coast.
When I do the Tip next year I'm going via Birdsville heading nth, other wise same s#%t different day
You already know how boring the Hume is

[Sir Roofy]

depends where your going
up newell is a good run

Hate the Pacific highway, boring and full of roadworks currently. Not sure on how the Newall etc is these days, but used to take it from Canberra and Cowra just for something different. Key is, who's travelling?? If just you, or just you and the missus, inland is more of a "let's just stop here" trip ... Pacific is quite the opposite - lets get the hell to the next town and see what's what ... and usually,nothing is what!! lol

It will be a boat in tow kinda a trip, straight up to Noosa to see some friends and fish the Noosa river in my boat then slowly make our way down the coast.

Hmmm ... go Pacific - yep, crappy, boring run, but ....

And don't forget to let us qld'ers know when you're here so we can catch up for a coldie.

Definitely quicker going up the Newell Hwy, and head across towards Brisbane from Goondawindi.

From there it is up to you, whether you skirt around Brisbane or go through Brisbane. Depends what you want to see on the way through.

x2 quicker up the newell and its a much nicer drive. The coast road is boring

[MC97GQ]

x3 on the Newell, there are a lot of sections between centres that are 110 so it is a much quicker trip. Scenery is great along the way.

There are a lot of trucks on the Newell, but there are plenty of overtaking places. Once you get further north there are plenty of places to get back over toward the coast via Tamworth, Armidale etc.

Enjoy the trip mate.
