Draft for Bruce Highway route description

Maryborough to Rockhampton

edit

Maryborough to Childers

edit

The road runs through the eastern section of Wongi State Forest before bypassing Torbanlea and Howard, separated by the Burrum River. It then crosses the Isis River and passes through sugar cane farms on the way to Childers.

Childers to Gin Gin

edit

This short section passes through the southern part of Cordalba State Forest and the western edge of Booyal State Forest before crossing the Burnett River. It includes intersections with both ends of State Route 3, which links the highway to Bundaberg.

Gin Gin to Miriam Vale

edit

This section passes to the south and west of Lake Monduran before crossing the Kolan River. It then passes several national parks before reaching Miriam Vale.

Miriam Vale to Mount Larcom

edit

This section crosses the Boyne and Calliope Rivers. It includes intersections with the Dawson Highway and with both ends of State Route 58, all of which link the highway to Gladstone.

Mount Larcom to Rockhampton

edit

This section is joined by the Burnett Highway and the Capricorn Highway before entering Rockhampton.

Rockhampton to Mackay

edit

After crossing the Fitzroy River in Rockhampton this section passes connections to Emu Park and Yeppoon. From the outskirts of Rockhampton almost to Sarina the road passes through mainly timbered country. From Sarina to Mackay is mainly cultivated farm land, with the main crop being Sugar Cane. The road intersects with the Peak Downs Highway as it enters Mackay.

Mackay to Townsville

edit

This section travels through a mixture of timbered and open farming country until it reaches the sugar cane fields around Proserpine, where it passes the intersection with State Route 59 to Airlie Beach. It then proceeds through mixed farming country to the port city of Bowen. From there it runs through similar country until it reaches the sugar cane areas of Home Hill and Ayr on the banks of the Burdekin River. A short stretch of road through hilly country leads to Townsville, passing to the east of Mount Elliot in the Bowling Green Bay National Park.
