25 Where should I ride in Queensland?
Mt Glorious - good for a quick fang. Nice windy roads, coffee shops,
scenery. Can go down the other side to the Wivenhoe Dam. Downside is
that a lot of people are killing themselves on that road, and the
police are doing more speed traps. Mapleton Pub - rip up the Bruce
Highway, maybe stop into the Ettamogah Pub on the way, then swing up
high for a nice lunch and view. Ride back through Montville and
Maleny. Stanthorpe - for a longer ride (read overnight) go west to
Stanthorpe, stay the night in a national park. Drop down through NSW
to Glen Innes to wave at the friendly bikers, then come back up past
Byron and the Gold Coast.
Mt Tamborine through to Springbrook (via the Russ Hinze Dam Road)
A perfect day ride from Brisbane includes Mt. Glorious to Esk via
Somerset. From Esk head to Toowoomba (the road gets a a bit thin here,
but still bitumin). At Hampton turn right and head to Yarraman. This
section of the road is ideal for big speeds, no cops. At Yarraman head
back towards Brisbane. At Kilcoy head towards Somerset again.
Gillies highway near Cairns.
