Gold Coast to Goondiwindi avoiding Cunninghams Gap

Hmm there are your choices.

Toowoomba range is an alternative but it is a range like Cunningham's Gap.

Alternative is Heifer Creek road. Go to Gatton (don't bypass) and about 5km further on (just before Grantham) turn left and follow signs to Clifton to go up through Heifer creek. From Clifton go through Leyburn and onto Goondiwindi.

Slower road but less trucks and not as steep if towing. Change of scenery too.

A Radical alternative maybe go south and follow Bruxner highway out to Goondiwindi.

I personally would take the Bruxner Hway via Kyogle - but what is wrong with Cunninghams Gap - just a bit slower with the stop and go still on -or zNerang-Beaudesert-Warwick - on Mt Lindsay Hway - either way probably further than the Gap

The distance from the Gold Coast is about the same (ie via Cunningham's Gap or via Warrego Highway & Toowoomba). You can look at the different options via a directions search on http://maps.google.com.au

Personally I'd probably take Cunningham's Gap (Beaudesert/Warwick) over the Toowoomba Range. The Range is good until you get to the end part and then it is STEEP! Much steeper than Cunningham's Gap. If you get stuck behind a truck you're stuffed. On the contrary, the speed limit through the gap is 70 and I can make it up at that speed in my N/A 80 series :)

Like everyone else, I'm wondering why don't you want to go through Cunningham's Gap?
