Cunninghams Gap or Toowoomaba some suggestions please

[leon]

Hi Guys here is one for the members who live in Queensland or even better South East Queensland, or for anyone the knows the answer I suppose.

We are in Tenterfield at the moment and tomorrow we head for Brisbane, now which is the better route for a very heavy Rig like ours, all up 9.5 :eyepop:Tonne.

Would Cunningham's Gap be OK or would going through Toowoomaba toward Brisbane be the best bet, or are they both just as hilly as each other. :shrug:

It really inst such a big deal i suppose as we have been up some pretty big hills of late, but i understand that Cunningham's Gap can be a challenge. :shrug:

If some one may suggest a good route it would be most appreciated.;)

Leon :thumbsup:

I'd go through Toowoomba and head down the Hampton Rd. It's the preferred route for people with horse floats. :)

Think from Tenterfield Leon its not so much UP as DOWN Cunninghams gap mate ... and its absolutley no challenge if you have brakes !!!

I suppose you've also considered the wind down the Bruxner Hwy to Casino & Lismore then up through the Gold coast to Brisbane as well.

I think you'll be fine no matter which way

Toowoomba range is shorter, but steeper - dual carriage way up and down. Cunningham's Gap is longer and less steep, but I "think" some sections are only one lane downhill. A lot of Cunningham's Gap was washed out in the big wet last year and it's been under repair for over 12 months.

Biggest load I've ever towed down those is a camper trailer, but I'm sure a sensible fellow like yourself wouldn't have trouble with either if you take it easy.
