Discover one of Queensland’s most incredible drives, including all the must-see places on a Brisbane to Townsville road trip.
The Pacific Coast Way is the stretch of road that connects the towns and cities along the East Coast of Australia between the Gold Coast and Cairns.
The combination of warm Queensland days mixed with idyllic locations is hard to resist, and why many each year pack up their car or caravan to explore Queensland’s coastline. It is also why this stretch of road is one of the most famous drives through the Sunshine State.
The hardest decision when planning your Brisbane to Townsville drive will be choosing the places to visit in Queensland along the way. For this reason, I asked fellow travellers for their recommendations on the best places to stop and things to do between Brisbane and Townsville.

Tip: Always check the road conditions before embarking on your journey.

ROAD TRIP BRISBANE TO TOWNSVILLE
Stop 1: Brisbane
Queensland’s capital is a vibrant river city with a blend of beautiful heritage buildings and soaring glass skyscrapers. Because of its fabulous weather, life in Brisbane is great for those who love being outdoors. With many enjoyable outdoor activities, from dining in an alfresco café beside the river to walking, kayaking, and cycling, there are plenty of things to do in Brisbane for everyone. Brisbane has an excellent public transport system, and families can either catch a bus or hop on the free CityHopper ferry to quickly get around along the river.
One of the main attractions for kids of all ages is South Bank, which is home to 17 ha of parklands and the impressive Streets Beach, which is a manmade beach with a lagoon where the kids can swim while watching the boats glide past on the Brisbane River.
Tip: One of the iconic landmarks in the South Bank area is The Wheel of Brisbane that offers 360-degree views of the city. Experience a birds-eye view of Brisbane from 60 metres above the ground in an enclosed gondola. Avoid the queue and buy tickets for The Wheel of Brisbane here.
Other attractions for kids in Brisbane are the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, where the kids will love hand-feeding kangaroos and other wildlife, and the Museum of Brisbane, where you can ride up to the City Hall Clock Tower. An educational attraction called ‘The Cube’ will keep junior scientists enthralled too. As these are only some of the fun things to do in Brisbane if you’re planning on seeing more of the city plan to stay at least three days.
Stay: If you are planning on staying in Brisbane, find the best family-friendly accommodation deals here.

Optional Detours: Forming a stunning backdrop to the beaches, the Sunshine Coast Hinterland is worth a visit. Or take a trip to the sandy adventure playground, aka Moreton Island. Read More information on each at the bottom of the article.
Stop 2: Noosa
Noosa is a two-hour drive north of Brisbane, and a location where you need at least two days, though you could easily stay for two weeks. It is an upmarket town with its most famous street, Hastings Street, dedicated to upmarket shops and cafes. However, families on a budget should not be put off by this.
There are cheaper places away from the main street, and the beaches here are second-to-none. In fact, there is a stunning beach right in town with beautiful sand and a rocky outcrop off to one side. The beach faces north instead of east, and the orientation and protection help create rolling waves that tend to be safer and more suitable for younger children than many of the main coastal beaches. The surf lifesaving clubhouse is on the main beach, and this is a cheaper option for the family to have a meal out while enjoying stunning views of the coast.
The other main reason to visit is the adjacent Noosa National Park. A paved footpath and easy trails along the rocky shore and throughout the park take you to semi-secluded (though unpatrolled) sandy beaches and ever-changing views. Koalas are often seen here, and the location of the latest sightings are posted at the park office near the entrance, so you have a much better chance of finding them.

Stop 3: Rainbow Beach & Tin Can Bay

Rainbow Beach and neighbouring Tin Can Bay are popular spots with travellers of all types. From backpackers living their van life dreams, to young families looking to escape the city, there is a whole host of activities in the area to keep people of all ages entertained and coming back for more.
Geared towards tourists, while still maintaining their small-town feel, if camping isn’t your thing, there are plenty of alternative accommodation options available.
If you are going to be camping, however, you need to purchase and ideally display your camping permit at all times. These can be purchased online or at the ranger station as you come into Rainbow Beach.
There is a large free camping area on the Inskip Peninsula, a short drive north from Rainbow Beach. Bear in mind, though that without a 4×4, your choices of pitches are somewhat limited. One area, M.V. Sarawak, is deemed suitable for non-four-wheel vehicles but always exercise caution as the surrounding area is very sandy. The best place to pitch up if you’re worried about getting bogged down is at the front of the camping area by the entrance from the road.
The towns are ideal for a relaxing seaside break for the whole family. The beaches are clean, large, and safe. There is an abundance of wildlife, nature walks, water sports, and even golf. Plenty to keep the most active little ones occupied!

Stop 4: Hervey Bay

The Hervey Bay region on the Queensland Fraser Coast is a 3.5-hour drive north from Brisbane. Known as the gateway to K’gari, aka Fraser Island, its calm waters are a nursery for migrating humpback whales. Ideally, take two days to enjoy the area, longer if you are also planning on visiting Fraser Island.
The popular things to do in Hervey Bay are experiencing an up-close encounter with one of the largest marine animals in the world on a whale-watching cruise (April to November). Take a stroll along Urangan Pier, one of Australia’s longest piers (nearly a kilometre into the sea), and also known as one of Hervey Bays top fishing spots. Rent a bike or take a walk on the 17km beachside Esplanade that links Point Vernon to Urangan. Visit the all-natural Reefworld Aquarium that’s home to a variety of marine life, or make a splash at the free Wetside Water Park. The ocean here, with little to no waves, is fantastic for kids as well as for swimming, SUP, kayaking, fishing, and sailing.
Hervey Bay is a seaside town with affordable beachfront caravan parks, motels, and self-contained accommodation. There are also many restaurants, cafes, and bars. It is a place to unwind and enjoy a beachside holiday akin to yesteryear.
Tip: As the (unofficial) Whale Watching Capital, it is little surprise that Hervey Bay offers an incredible array of day tours for visitors to experience an encounter with these amazing animals. These highly-rated tours fill quickly, so book them in advance here.

Stop 5: Fraser Island

A precious jewel in Queensland’s crown, World Heritage-listed Fraser Island, is a bucket list destination for any travelling family.
An abundance of wildlife, ancient rainforest, white sandy beaches, crystal clear freshwater lakes, and the elusive dingo is what makes Fraser Island a truly unique holiday destination.
Don’t miss:
Eli Creek, for a lazy float down a winding freshwater stream, opening out to shallow water for the kids to splash around and play. The perfect hangout for families to spend the day!
Visit the Champagne Pools for a boardwalk jaunt with stunning panoramic views, before heading down to the bubbly goodness of the pools at high tide.
The most-visited site on Fraser Island would be Lake McKenzie. The striking fresh blue water that’s beautifully transparent is like that of a swimming pool. This awe-inspiring inland lake with soft, pure, silica sand will never fail to blow you away!
With vehicle ferry access from both Inskip Point and Hervey Bay, it has never been easier to visit the world’s largest protected sand island. Explore the island by 4wd, go camping, or stay at one of the many accommodation options available.
Allow a minimum of 5 days to enjoy all that Fraser Island has to offer. Short on time? Book a day tour, though, be warned; you won’t be ready to leave this paradise after one day!

Stop 6: Bundaberg
If you’re travelling between Brisbane and Townsville, Bundaberg must be on your list of places to stop.
There are so many things to see and do you will need two full days to explore. Firstly, you can go on a tour of the Bundaberg Rum distillery. It is interesting to walk through the museum and then to see the process of making rum. If rum isn’t your thing, visit the Bundaberg Brewed Drinks factory, which makes soft drinks. The most famous one is Ginger Beer.
The Botanical Gardens are beautiful, with one of the highlights being the Sugar Cane Railway that takes visitors on a 2km train ride through the gardens. Buy food to feed the lizards and ducks, and stop in at the Hinkler Hall of Aviation within the grounds, which is dedicated to the aviation pioneer Bert Hinkler.
A short drive to Bargara will bring you to the beach and Mon Repos, an area where Loggerhead Turtles lay their eggs. While walking along the trail there, you will see the South Sea Islander Wall, which was built by slaves, and is now protected under the Queensland Heritage Register.
If you still have time in the area, you can visit the Snakes Downunder Reptile Park & Zoo at Childers. The zoo is an excellent place to get up close and personal with several Australian reptiles and animals. It’s a great little hands-on place that everyone will enjoy.

Stop 7: Agnes Waters & Seventeen Seventy

Agnes Waters and 1770 are the perfect locations for a quiet beach getaway where you can escape the bustling crowds of the city and relax with the slower pace of these small seaside towns.
Agnes Waters can be reached by driving 90 min from either Gladstone or Bundaberg, you then travel a further 6.8km towards the end of the peninsular to reach 1770. Agnes Waters has most of the services for the two towns like food stores, medical and emergency services whereas 1770 has little more than a few cafes, a caravan park and an amazing family-friendly beach.
Between the two towns, there is a wide range of water experiences including surf beaches, a well-protected beach that is perfect for young children, a jetty to launch boats, canoe hire, plus a rocky outcrop at the end of the peninsular that is popular with surfers.
There are several easy to intermediate hiking trails including a 1.2km walk through the Joseph Banks Conservation Park, a 400m walk on a paperbark forest boardwalk and a 5.5km walk along the beach from Agnes Waters to the 1770 headland. There is also a Discovery Trail that commemorates the site where Captain Cook made his first landfall in what was to be called Queensland, and the reason this tiny town got its unusual name.
Agnes Waters and Seventeen Seventy are the perfect locations for young families, outdoor enthusiasts and those wanting to slow down; the two towns are the best-kept secret in Queensland.

Stop 8: Rockhampton
Whether you’re staying a week or a few days, there are lots of things to see and do around Rockhampton, especially for families!
Start with a trip to the free Rockhampton Zoo that’s home to a wide range of native and exotic animals, including a family of chimpanzees.

Stop 9: Yeppoon
The coastal town of Yeppoon, with its relaxed vibe and friendly locals, is one of the most popular towns to visit on a Brisbane to Townsville road trip.
The picture-perfect beaches in Yeppoon are a brilliant location to bask in the tropical climate. The gentle waters are perfect for families to frolic or cast a line right off the beach, where you may be lucky to score a fresh catch.
A great family-friendly location in Yeppoon would have to be the Blue Lagoon, which is a free aquatic playground with an infinity-edge pool that looks out to the ocean. Swimming there will feel like you have checked into a 5-star resort, with the additional bonuses of plenty of shade, and lifeguards on duty.

Pumpkin Island

Stop 14: Magnetic Island
Be careful when you travel to Magnetic Island, because once you visit this magical place, just twenty minutes off the coast of Townsville, you may never want to leave. Magnetic Island – affectionately known as Maggie to locals – lies in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Its unique geology of huge granite boulders, hoop pines, palms and its families of rock wallabies and koalas will have you spellbound
There are 23 beaches to choose from here – our favourite is Alma for its glass-like surface, rock pools, play area, BBQs and snorkelling. It’s also the one beach on the island that’s patrolled, and it is just across the road from the Arcadia Hotel, which has excellent food, drink and Queensland-Esque fun like toad races every Wednesday night (with proceeds going to the lifesaving club).
Other beaches can be reached by car, foot, and boat – be careful to check if you’re heading to one of the islands two nudie beaches.
Hiking is a fabulous way to see the island, and there are 26 kilometres of tracks for you to explore. The Forts Walk takes you to a World War 2 lookout and has lots of koalas in the trees along the way. Hawkings Point Walk offers beautiful views over Picnic Bay and across Rocky Bay to Nelly Bay, and for the more adventurous the Nelly Bay to Arcadia Track’s views are as rewarding as it is challenging.
Three days here would be a minimum to enjoy the island’s beaches, bays, hiking and restaurants, but you may find you need more as you relax into the island’s relaxed pace and fall in love with its magic.
