[QLD] Gatton-Clifton Road

Postby slug_dub » Wed Oct 06, 2010 5:15 pm

Drove this road today as we went to the Darling Downs Zoo which is along it.
Runs from the Gatton Bypass near Grantham through to the New England Highway between Toowoomba and Warwick.

Quite flowing and open at both ends with some nice bursts of twisties in the middle. Very picturesque as well, and a very nice little drive.
There are quite a few sections without lines and several one-lane-only bridges so a bit of caution required in parts... I didn't push very hard (and a leaking exhaust didn't help!)... as well as a few roadworks but it looks like they are upgrading this road.

I suspect this one gets dríven by the Darling Downs Club contingent perhaps?

If this is the route which goes through Ma Ma Creek, then on towards Clifton, then yes it's a great drive. I go that way to Leyburn for the sprints.
Pain is temporary, quitting lasts forever.

I'll be driving that road again on Saturday week, although it won't be much fun as I'll be towing my rally car out to a dirt sprint event at Hirstglen.
Don't drive it........RALLY it!
