Driving Routes

ISAAC COAST, GREAT INLAND WAY AND THE MINING TRAIL

On the Isaac Coast drive you will discover our quaint beach communities nestled along one of the last remaining relatively undeveloped yet accessible stretches of shoreline on the East Coast. Dugong sanctuaries, remote turtle nesting grounds and uninhabited islands offer a unique opportunity to get back to nature and re-energise the mind. Follow the Great Inland Way, where golden sunflowers line the road with rust-red sorghum, buttery wheat and creamy cotton crops, while majestic mountains and lava plugs form spectacular backdrops on the horizon. The Mining Trail, a 300 kilometre unique selfdrive trail from Clermont to Mackay, will introduce you to wide, beautiful landscapes, historic towns, vibrant mining communities and impressive manmade works.

Isaac region has a number of connecting road networks of sealed and unsealed roads that can be taken for a rewarding off the beaten track experience. For drive route maps visit www.queensland.com and see Isaac Region Visitor Map on page 5.
