Brisbane to Longreach road trip: Distance, drive time & attractions

Brisbane to Longreach drive: Darling Downs section

The Warrego Highway runs north of Toowoomba. If you choose to go into the city, attractions include the DownsSteam railway museum and the Japanese Garden. Toowoomba accommodation options include the spacious apartments of Oaks Toowoomba and the pool-boasting Athena Motel.

The drive from Toowoomba to Roma across the Darling Downs and Western Downs regions of Queensland can be broken down into smaller sections.

The leg from Toowoomba to Dalby is pretty dull, although Dalby itself has plenty of heritage buildings to admire. The Pioneer Park Museum is the highlight. If staying overnight, Dalby accommodation choices include the Dalby Manor Motor Inn, which has a handy pool, and the cheaper Dalby Tourist Park.
