Tenterfield to Brisbane road trip: Moogerah Peaks National Park
On the other side of the national park, there are a few scenic sights around Moogerah. You can go camping at Lake Moogerah and hike in Moogerah Peaks National Park. Waterfall Gorge is a highlight here.
You’ll then pass through Fassifern and the western end of the Scenic Rim region on the way towards Ipswich. Potential stops on the route include the Cunningham Lookout near Warrill View and Summer Land Camels in Harrisville. The latter offers farm tours and camel rides.
Around Ipswich, the main attractions are the RAAF Amberley Aviation Heritage Centre and the Queensland Pioneer Steam Railway.
Tenterfield to Brisbane drive: Ipswich Motorway and Brisbane
Just outside Ipswich, the Cunningham Highway merges into the Ipswich Motorway, skims a bend in the Brisbane River near the Moggill Ferry, then passes several golf courses as it grinds towards suburban Brisbane.
The Rocklea Markets and Queensland Tennis Centre come a little later on, before the route into central Brisbane passes the Gabba Stadium and finally crosses the Brisbane River.
