Aussie Road Trip – itinerary advice/suggestions?

admin — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 14:55:18 +0000

Hubby and I are going to be in Redcliffe (near Brisbane) from December 21st until January 2nd. However, we are there to visit family, so chances of doing any real sight-seeing will have to wait until December 26th. We want to do a road trip along that coast but we’d like to cover Noosa Heads (and potentially anything in between) and Byron Bay (and anything in between). We thought on Dec 26th or 27th, we’d drive up 2 hours to Noosa Heads, check it out, and drive back. Then on 27th or 28th, head south, and arrange accommodation accordingly. Any ideas/suggstions on must-see places along that stretch of road? From Noosa Heads, down to Byron Bay? And what sort of time frame we should be looking at? We’re hoping to spend New Year’s Eve in Brisbane/Redcliffe with our family, so I guess we’ll only have 26th – 30th. How much can we do in that short time. We’ll have a car and will be driving everywhere. Thanks so much for any advice!
Thanks for all your suggestions, but are they doable in 3-4 days?
Hi Aussie, I thought it would be possible to do Redcliffe to Noosa in one day, because I saw on google maps that it’s a 2 hour drive. I thought on the way we could pass Mooloolaba, Kawana Waters, etc… as they’re en-route. If we set off at 7 or 8am, it should be possible, shouldn’t it? Am I being unrealistic? Thanks for your input!

The distance between Noosa Heads and Byron Bay is only 300km, not much to drive. You only have a limited time to discover places, but with a good planning it is doable, easily.

From north to south, after Noosa which is a beautiful place (+ wild koalas in the national park) drop into Eumundi, particularly if it’s Saturday, they have famous markets. Further south theres a Ginger factory near Yandina; the Big Pineapple in Nambour; Ettamogah Pub and Australia Zoo (if you get time turn into Glasshouse mountains but i doubt you will). That should be doable in one day.

South of Brisbane, on the Gold Coast are the famous theme parks however they are not very cheap so they are not worth the price unless you have half a day to spend in each. I would pick one or max two and also visit Surfers Paradise (great beach, restaurants, shopping, nightlife). That’s one day, or two.

South of the Gold Coast, Byron Bay is only a short trip away and you could spend a lot of time there, but you will see it all in one day.
