Bunya Mountains Drive

Ecotourism, astronomy, history, antiques, arts and crafts and wine tasting interests are all catered for on this self-drive tour.  Pass through rich red agricultural land to Queensland’s second oldest National Park for some breathtaking views and mountain walks through subtropical rainforest.   Flora and fauna abound from wallabies and pademelons to bower birds, rosellas and king parrots.  Travel over the top of the Bunya Mountains, and visit an astronomical observatory in Maidenwell.

Distance: This round trip is approximately 145 kilometres.
Time: Driving time is estimated at 2 hours but you will want to allow a minimum half to full day to fully appreciate this unique experience including refreshment and lunch breaks.
Road Conditions: Generally the highways are in good condition and sealed bitumen all the way.  The road up the mountain is sealed but is narrow, steep and winding.  A 7-kilometre section of road between the Bunya Mountains and Maidenwell is gravel - it is well-maintained but requires some caution.
