Riding from Cann River to Bombala. Very nice scenery and was a good road when I did in 2012. Some lovely corners and basically a very nice ride.. Didn't see many cars or any cops on the ride.
With no hazards and some great turns in forest surroundings, the proximity to Brisbane makes this a really good ride.
This is a part of the summerland way i enjoy. Leaving Kyogle, you head towards the QLD border. Going thru some nice scenery, there is some good fast corners and nice straights. You then travel up to the Woodenbong/Beaudesert turn off. A good road to travel if you have come from Murwillumbah to Kyogle and want to head back towards Brisbane.
This is a sealed 45 km shortcut across the border ranges that is substantially maintained by funds generated by the local Kyogle and Beaudesert Lions Clubs. As such, it has some very bumpy sections and potholes may remain unfilled for some time. This road is thin with quite a few unsurveyed corners, dips, rises, wooden bridges, cattle wandering between the cattle grids (leaving their deposits on the road) and creek crossings. Regardless of all this, the Lions Road is popular for its tight endless corners and as an interesting and scenic shortcut between Rathdowney and Kyogle. To start at the northern end, either turn left off the Mount Lindsay Hwy about 6.5 km before Rathdowney onto Innisplain Road (and travel south for 6.1 km); or head east out of Rathdowney on Running Creek Road for 3.0 km then turn right at 'T' to head south. It is then about 20.7 km to the state border crossing where there are donation tins located to each side of the road (to help with maintenance costs). The road travels through the rain forest, over the hills, along various creeks, and also is aligned closely to the interstate railway. A turnoff 2.2 km south of the border crossing takes you a hundred metres or so to a lookout that makes a good rest stop with a view of the border railway loop below. The marked end of this route is 18 km north of Kyogle (3.7 km north of Wiangaree) along the Summerland Way.
fabulous road in good condition but gets a bit busy in the summer holidays
