Take to the open road and discover the sweeping curves, mountain scenery and peaceful country roads of the Mary Valley.
Mary Valley Road and the roads connecting Imbil, Kandanga and Amamoor offer an enjoyable mix of flowing bends, changing landscapes and welcoming country towns. Follow Mary Valley Tourist Drive 42 through rolling farmland, forested ranges and picturesque rural communities, stopping along the way to explore the valley at your own pace.
There are several ways to begin your Mary Valley ride. Arrive from Gympie, connect from the Bruce Highway or choose one of the scenic hinterland approaches. Riders travelling from Maleny can follow Kenilworth Tourist Drive 22 through Conondale to Kenilworth before continuing towards Imbil and connecting with Mary Valley Tourist Drive 42. Montville and Mapleton also provide alternative approaches through the neighbouring Sunshine Coast hinterland.
Wherever you begin, there are plenty of reasons to stop once you reach the Mary Valley. Kick down your stand at a local café, bakery or country pub for fresh coffee, local flavours and a hearty meal.
Make it an overnight ride with a stay at one of the valley’s designated campgrounds or comfortable country accommodation. With memorable roads, beautiful scenery and welcoming places to pause, the Mary Valley is a ride you will want to enjoy again and again.
Keep an eye out for all the amazing sights, from Scarecrow motorcyclists to wild deer and incredible rock formations.
