Hi Debandee,
Sydney to Pt Douglas huh Sounds good. Definately stay off Hgw 1 Speed cameras galore and over policed to buggery.
The New England is a little better but it would still pay to be on your guard.
Personally my route would be as follows:
Turn off Hgw 1 after Raymond Tce and ride north via Glouster, Walcha, Uralla and Armidale.
From there via Waerfall way through Ebor and Clouds Ck to Grafton.
From Grafton head north to Casino. (IT is worth a detour along the Clarence river to Lawrence)
From Casino through Kyogle and turn right onto the Lions rd which will take you up over the Border ranges into Qld.and on to Murwillumbah. Follow the Numinbah valley to Nerang where you can join Hgw 1 to get you through or around Brissy.
From Brissy ther is excellent riding north through Woodford, Maleney, Kenilworth and on to Gympie or from Woodford ride out to Kilcoy, Nanango, Gayndah, Monto (have a look at Cania Gorge on the way past) and on to Biloela.
From there continue on to Dululu and Mt Morgan (worth an hour or 2 here) and on to Rocky.
From Rocky, unless you want to do a major detour you don't have much choice. Stick to Hgw 1 to Mackay and beyond. It is as boring as bat shit up to Mackay but gets more interesting after that with lots of little places bobbing up every few Ks.Airlie beach is worth a look of course just for the eye candy.
Hope this helps. If I can be of further assistance my mobile is 0438189761 Regards
