Ipswich to Boonah is approximately 60 km. Boonah to Beaudesert is approximately 40 km. Camping is permitted at the Boonah showgrounds. Beaudesert has a caravan park. Both towns have good food stores and most facilities.
Mostly dairy farms and agriculture on the river and creek flats. It is pleasant. Usually, the traffic is light.
After the right turn to Hillview, is a steep long hill. Caution is required on the descent, as it is steep and the final curve is sharp. At Hillview, there is a hall, toilets and a picnic area with tables, but no drinking water. Drinking water can be obtained from a tank at the Christmas Creek Catholic church. The ride from Hillview, through Tamrookum and along Black Mountain Rd is gently undulating. The store at Tamrookum sells a good range of takeaway food. Usually, drinking water can be obtained on request. The gravel section on Black Mountain Rd is large sized gravel, but is usually in good condition and is an all-weather road. This section can be avoided by riding the highway to Josephville and then turning left on a paved road. There are a few hills on Sandy Ck Rd until the railway line is crossed and then it is mostly downhill back to Beaudesert.
