Taroom - Bauhinia Road

Just checked the map, maybe you mean the Fitzroy Dev Road, Matt? Haven't been on the Bauninia-Taroom section, but map suggests all dirt. Have been north from Bauhinia, mix of gravel and bitumen, get along at speed limit when we were on it last.

Travelling to the coast, Hervey Bay or Brissy, we've been going Emerald, Biloela, Gayndah, Kilkivan, to miss the 'Roos on the Warrego H'way and all traffic on the Bruce. Possibly a bit further but traffic is very light, and some good scenery. If you did this route, you could cut down through Nanango, Kingaroy to Toowoomba. Might be a bit further I'd say?

Good route Bob. We are out in this area often having friends at Kingaroy.
But you wouldn't want to go via Kingaroy when heading through Kilkivan and Nanango, it is off the direct route and slow getting through Kingaroy.
The road from Nanango via Crows Nest to Toowoomba is good and scenic.

Thanks Allan, not familiar with route north of Toowoomba, so just "generalised".

Have a safe & merry Christmas, Allan. Never know might catch up with you in 2016.

Regards,
Bob

Last time I was down that road ( about two tears ago) it was rough and very dusty, but could be excellent now but if storms about I would give a miss and go to Moura, Theodore, then down to Taroom, in other words follow the sealed road. If however you want to go by the Fitzroy Development road just ask in Rolleston and you will get a up to date road report.
Cheers and have a good trip
