Great motorcycle roads # 28

Queen Mary Falls

This is a very scenic ride!

From Brisbane ride to Beaudesert and then ride the fast flowing Beaudesert to Boonah road which is allready listed in my rides and then go through town and take the road signposted to Rathdowney.

About 12 k's out of town you will see a sign post marked Falls Scenic Drive Route 21. Turn right here and follow this road as signposted.



The road is mostly narrow and you follow a creek with a few crossings that may have some loose gravel washed across, also it is unfenced so you need to keep your pace down as you may encounter wildlife near the road.


You will climb a very steep narrow road which has some stunning views on your right, then at the top enter a high mountain dairy fields area riding along the top for some distance. Again need to be mindful of your speed as many blind corners that cut back onto themselves. This side isnt a fast road in very many parts at all.





Stop at the superb lookout next door is cafe/mountain cabins and continue on and down a section until you reach the Falls. There is a cafe that sells good food and coffee as well as bbq facilities in the falls park area and toilets etc.



From there you may wish to return same way or go on to Legume. A nice curvey decent that is worth taking a run back up lies just beyond the falls area and then you are in Legume and can turn and go to Wondenbong on what is a rather bumpy road for the section Legume to Wondenbong and then ride over the excellent Mt Lindsey range.
