Day 1: Brisbane to Glass House Mountains

Before we begin this epic Brisbane to Cairns road trip itinerary, we assume you’ve already taken the time to see the sights of Brisbane and have enjoyed what the third-largest city in Australia has to offer before picking up your camper.

However, if you’ve just rocked up, check out our top tips on what to do in Brisbane before you hit the road.

Now, after picking up your camper or hire car from Queensland’s capital, it’s time to hit the road, taking the Southern Cross Way onto the M1 out of Brisbane. Just a one-hour drive past the North Lakes and through Moreton Bay we reach the first stop of our Brisbane to Cairns road trip, the incredible Glass House Mountains.

Distinguished by their 11 peaks, the Glass House Mountains have heaps of hiking tracks, waterholes, and other natural beauty spots – ideal for a family-friendly fun time.

What to do?

As your first stop on this epic roadie from Brisbane to Cairns, you can’t go far wrong making unforgettable memories at:

Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve

For the best views of the mountains, visit the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve. Immerse yourself in the natural rainforest with incredible plants and wildlife, including a rich selection of native (noisy) birds.

Australia Zoo

The home of Steve Irwin and his incredible legacy we have the amazing Australia Zoo. See some crocs in the flesh alongside snakes, rhinos, turtles and heaps of other animals! And all within a controlled environment, of course (we’re no Irwin!)

Maleny Botanic Gardens

After a great day of wildlife activity, you can top it off with a visit to the award-winning Maleny Botanic Gardens & Bird World. With astonishing views of the landscape, it can provide the cherry on top the perfect start to your Brisbane to Cairns Road Trip.

Where to eat?

No doubt, you would’ve worked up an appetite after all that sightseeing, so here are our recommendations for where to eat in the Glass House Mountains:

Felons Brewery (Brisbane)

Right on the river at Howard Smith Wharves, Felons is a vibey spot for a sunset brew and bites. Think pizza, burgers, craft beers, and city views all in one sweet spot. 🍻

The Lookout Cafe

For its views alone, The Lookout Cafe is worth popping in, even just to get a quick coffee and recharge those caffeine batteries. Open 7 days, this place is perfect for breakfast, so we recommend getting here before you go to the Zoo or on a hike.

The Terrace Seafood Restaurant

Winning the Best Tourism Restaurant in Queensland award three years on the trot makes this restaurant a real gem and probably the best seafood experience in the state! Get yourselves there for a bite after you’re done at the botanical gardens.

Where to stay?

In an area of incredible natural beauty, make the most of it and park up at a campsite:

Riverdell

Close to Maleny and just a 20-minute drive northwest we have a beautiful, secluded spot with incredible views over the landscape.

Rosedale Estate

Situated more centrally inside the Glass House Mountains inside Delaneys Creek next to Mount Delaney, we have another absolute beaut of a campsite complete with biking, fishing and wildlife watching.

Day 2-3: Glass House Mountains to Sunshine Coast

We hope you managed to catch the sunrise over the 11 peaks, but now is the time to make the short trip to the Sunshine Coast.

Making your way up north, you have a selection of beaches to pick before arriving at Noosa Heads. Here you can combine city life with the shoreline and so many excellent sights to see such as the Paradise Caves, Alexandria Bay, Noosa National Park and Noosa Heads Main Beach.

Day 4-5: Sunshine Coast to Hervey Bay

We hope you caught another stunning sunrise over the ocean horizon as now we’re heading north to make our way to Hervey Bay. With so much to do here, we think a couple of nights stay at least is warranted.

What to do?

It’s a two-hour 20-minute trip from the Sunshine Coast to Hervey Bay, but there’s heaps to look forward to on the way.

Paperbark Forest Walk

Run by Bush Heritage Australia, the Paperback Forest Walk is host to some incredible plants and trees, including the Broad-Leaved and Silver-Leaved Paperbark. A great activity if you’re looking to do something but stay cool in the woodland shade.

Experience some awesome roos upfront, feed them and learn about our native marsupial. This place is a little outside the Agnes Water but still worth the visit.

Day 7: Agnes Water to Rockhampton

On the road again? I know, we did say it’d be hard to leave this spot. But as sad as it is to say goodbye, there’s plenty more left to top off your first week on the road.

What to do?

Another two-hour and a half journey north and we hope you’re ready to start rocking in Rockhampton.

So far on your Brisbane to Cairns road trip, we haven’t strayed too far from the coast. Now, we’re a bit more inland, let’s enjoy what this city has to offer.

Capricorn Caves

Take a trip underground into a 400 million-year-made adventure with an unreal tour of the Capricorn Caves.

Mount Archer National Park

Prepare to touch the sky up Mount Archer, with stunning views on a 500-metre flat boardwalk.

Bluewater Lagoon

Unbelievably, this waterpark is free to enter and perfect for ages with two huge pools and heaps of space.

Where to stay?

Another epic day comes to an end. Here’s where we think you should park up and get some kip for the night before continuing your Brisbane to Cairns road trip:

Mackay Blacks Beach Holiday Park

Beachside and looking out to the southern islands of the Whitsundays, this campsite offers modern facilities, a pool and a waterpark.

What to do?

These tropical paradises just keep on coming, don’t they? Here’s how to keep busy on the sunny shores of Airlie Beach but we’re giving you two days to rest from all the travelling:

Airlie Beach Lagoon

Just like Bluewater Lagoon back down in Mackay, this place is free! Save your cash while having a splash!

Whitsundays Crocodile Safari

Now, you can’t go home after visiting Oz without saying you’ve seen a few crocs. So, if you didn’t find time on day one at the Australia Zoo, now’s your chance at the Whitsunday Crocodile Safari.

Whitsunday Islands

You don’t want to miss out on the Whitsundays! Think crystal clear waters, stunning coral reefs, and endless snorkelling or scuba diving opportunities. Whether you’re a seasoned diver or just wanna float around with some tropical fish, the Whitsundays are calling your name.

Pro tip: Check the tide times before you go – the colours of Whitehaven Beach are way more vibrant when the tide is just right.

Campfire Story Time 🔥

As part of our camper trip up the East Coast, we jumped on a sailing tour around the Whitsundays – 74 tropical islands, all straight outta a postcard. The islands were insane during the day, but it was what happened after sunset that really blew us away.

The stars were like nothing we’d ever seen – and then the ocean started glowing. Actual bioluminescence. Every movement in the water lit up neon blue, like mini glow worms swirling around us. It was completely unexpected and honestly, one of the most epic moments of the whole roadie.

Scenic Flight Over Heart Reef

If you’re keen for a next-level experience, book a scenic flight from Airlie Beach over the Great Barrier Reef. Seeing Heart Reef from above is honestly magic – turquoise waters, coral swirls, and that iconic heart shape. It’s a bit of a splurge, but a bucket list moment for sure. And book ahead, they fill up fast!

Where to eat?

Two-thirds of the way through Brisbane to Cairns road trip and it’s time to toast some of the amazing memories you’ve made so far:

My Rainbow Bakery & Cafe

With vibrant food, healthy options and unforgettable desserts, enjoy this affordable and friendly venue for some much-needed tucker.

Nomads/Base Backpackers

An ideal spot to park before or after a trip to the Whitsundays. In the heart of Airlie Beach, the Nomads/Base Backpackers have various accommodation options to suit all budgets.

Backpackers by the Bay Hostel

Far away enough from the main streets for a decent night kip, this clean, safe and friendly hostel is an easy stay and a good place to meet fellow travellers.

Airlie Beach Eco Cabins

Get nestled in nature and stay in a quaint cabin among eucalyptus trees and native palms. This peaceful place provides a quiet release from the busyness and noise inside other hostels and campsites.

Day 12: Airlie Beach to Townsville

After all that peaceful serenity, you have a 3-hour drive to the city of Townsville, the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.

What to do?

As an epic hotspot during your Brisbane to Cairns road trip, narrowing down what to do in Townsville is tricky, but here are our top recommendations:

The Strand

Stretching 2.2km you have an impressive beachfront promenade known as the Strand, providing beaches, eating areas, playgrounds, exercise stations, waterparks and more!

The Billabong Sanctuary

Voted Australia’s best interactive wildlife experience, the Billabong Sanctuary hosts native animals and holds entertaining and educational talks from wildlife experts.

The Great Barrier Reef

The most famous reef in the world, home to over 9,000 known species, the Great Barrier Reef can be reached from the Breakwater Marina or Magnetic Island (Nelly Bay Ferry Terminal).

Magnetic Island

If you’ve got time, take a ferry from Townsville to Magnetic Island. With its beautiful bays, hiking trails and wildlife, it’s a perfect day trip or overnight getaway. Rent a 4WD or scooter to explore the island in style!

Real Talk from the Road 💬

Yep, you can take your camper or motorhome over to Magnetic Island! There’s not heaps of accommodation on the island, so taking your rolling home with you is a smart move. Just don’t forget: even if your van is self-contained, you’ll still need to book a campsite.

No wild camping allowed on Maggie, but waking up beachside? Absolutely worth it.

Where to eat?

Let’s see what the tucker of Townsville has to offer your Brisbane to Cairns road trip:

Juliette’s Gelateria

A visit to the Strand needs a stop at Juliette’s, serving artisan ice cream, coffee and famous gelato shakes!

Wild Rice Laos & Thai Cuisine

As the first Lao and Thai restaurant in Townsville, this restaurant brings flavours that pack a punch on the taste buds.

The TapHouse Townsville

Serving tasty tapas, burgers, salads and cocktails, the TapHouse Townsville is famous for its 10 craft beers and offers its guests a relaxed atmosphere.

Barefoot Art Food Wine (Magnetic Island)

Chilled vibes, tropical cocktails and fresh seafood – all with views across Horseshoe Bay. A little bit fancy, a whole lot of island cool. Perfect for date night or a sunset sesh.

Where to stay?

Whether you want to stay in the city or venture a little outside, here are some potential resting spots:

Tasman Holiday Parks – Rollingstone

Bear in mind this is a 40-minute drive away from the city, it’s a tranquil spot if you’re looking to escape the noise and make some headway before driving north in the morning.

Civic Guest House Backpackers Hostel

If you’re staying central then this hostel is a good option, known for its friendly staff and safe surroundings suiting budget-conscious travellers.

Day 13: Townsville to Mission Beach

Okay guys, we’re on our penultimate day of your Brisbane to Cairns road trip, so let’s make the most of it while we still can! Off to Mission Beach.

What to do?

Back on the A1 up the coast with Magnetic and Palm Islands to the shore, after nearly 3-hours of driving, we get to Mission Beach. Here’s what’s hot at this stop:

Djiru National Park

Cool off in the shade and enjoy rare lowland rainforest amongst the Licuala fan palms before taking the Lacey Creek walk.

South Mission Beach

Just white sands, palm trees and crystal, clear waters. What more can we say?

Campfire Story Time 🔥

“You don’t know unless you GO!” I had no plans to do a skydive… at all. It wasn’t even close to being on my bucket list. But travelling the East Coast taught me one thing: the more I said YES, the better it seemed to pan out.

Next thing I know… I’m jumping out of a plane at 16,000 ft over the Great Barrier Reef.

Dunk Island

Take the FatCat ferry over to Dunk Island for an even more pristine paradise with a national park, nature, beaches and walking trails.

Where to eat?

Making the most of Mission Beach is hungry work. Here’s where we recommend eating:

Bingil Bay Cafe

A proud family-owned cafe nestled inside the tropical rainforest and just five minutes from the beaches, serving awesome breakfast options and a great range of other nibbles, snacks and main meals.

The Garage Bar & Grill

Burgers and beers galore! This small outdoor venue has homemade food and a delish selection of beers, wines and cocktails.

Spicy Thai Hut

Venture a little further up the coast and you reach the highest-rated restaurant on Wongaling Beach, the Spicy Thai Hut.

Where to stay?

After a busy day in Mission Beach, you’re gonna want an ideal rest stop before you finish your Brisbane to Cairns road trip tomorrow.

Tasman Holiday Parks

Excellent facilities and location, perfect after a day on South Mission Beach and a visit to Dunk Island.

Mission Beach Camping & Caravan Park

Placed on the beachfront and next door to a shopping village, you can enjoy BBQ facilities, kitchen, WIFI and laundry.

Jackaroo Treehouse Rainforest Retreat

Immerse yourself in the tropics with this venue placed dead centre in the middle of the rainforest.

Day 14: Mission Beach to Cairns

You made it guys! The final day of this unforgettable fortnight road trip from Brisbane to Cairns. But before you drop off your camper, we have a few stops you can make on the way first.

What to do?

Hitting the road for the last time on this trip, you gotta make sure we end it with a bang!

Etty Bay

If you need one last beach stop before reaching Cairns, swing into Etty Bay!

Josephine Falls

An hour’s drive up the A1 again takes you to Josephine Falls. Take a splash down the natural rockslide and cool off in the shade of the surroundings.

Fitzroy Island

Just a 45-minute ferry from Cairns, Fitzroy is the day trip for white sand, lush rainforest and clear-as-glass snorkelling. It’s known for sea turtle sightings and laid-back beach hangs. We reckon it’s like stumbling across a mini Philippines. Jump on the morning ferry and spend the day soaking it all up – you’ll be stoked you did.

Cairns

You’ve arrived at your destination, but if you have some time to enjoy the camper before dropping her off, be sure to see the Northern Beaches of Palm Cove and Clifton Beach.

Once in Cairns, you have a gateway to the Great Barrier Reef if you didn’t manage it back in Townsville. Plus, if you have time and are willing to explore a little further, there is the Daintree Rainforest (a tropical side of Australia that many don’t know exists!), Kuranda, Port Douglas and Cape Tribulation to enjoy.

We hope this Brisbane to Cairns road trip itinerary has been helpful and that you have an absolute blast on the road! It ain’t hard.

How long does it take to drive from Brisbane to Cairns?

It takes roughly 19-20 hours to drive from Brisbane to Cairns over 1,700 km. That’s why we recommend a fortnight to give yourself time to enjoy all the spots along the way without the hustle.

What is the best time of year to drive from Brisbane to Cairns?

We reckon going during the Australian winter because the weather is less intense and generally more pleasant. The Aussie winter spans from June to August. However, some would argue between wet and dry seasons, so anywhere around April/May to September/October.

What is the climate like between Brisbane and Cairns?

The climate between Brisbane and Cairns is tropical, especially along the coasts and rainforests. This means hot and humid summers and mild dry winters.
