Hey guys, heading up to bundaberg in a few weeks for a visit. Which way would you take? I'm wanting a bit of an interesting ride, I'm in no hurry, so want to stay off the highway as much as possible.

Hey Fish

Been that way as far as gayndah and out to monto

not bad roads nothing to write home about, but watch out for cops between brissy and Nanango

there was road works just before Nanango which will hold you up for at least 15 - 30 mins if you miss the cycle.

Over Mt G and around Somerset Dam / Neurum Rd
(or Samford Valley and over Mt Mee)

Woodford,
Malaney,
Kennilworth,
Gympie,

Head west to rejoin your original route.

^ this. Or just do a "transport leg" up the Bruce from Gympie. Be warned that you may want to prize your eyes out with a blunt instrument if the Bruce is your choice though....

I used to travel from Gladstone to Toowoomba and back regularly (average at least once a month for 5 yrs). I usually went via the section of your map through Yarraman, Ban Ban Springs and turned just after Dallarnil to head north. I can assure you there is nothing to see in that section (better than going up the Bruce though). The road towards Childers after the turn off north of Dallarnil has some reasonable sections though
