Course of the road
|
The Isis Highway is a trunk road in the south of the Australian state of Queensland . At only 142 km, the relatively short road runs from the junction of the Burnett Highway (A3) in Ban Ban Springs to the northeast and ends in Bundaberg on the Australian coral coast. It thus connects the cattle farms on the Burnett River with the sugar-growing areas around Bundaberg.
The street was named after the Isis River that flows between the towns of Maryborough and Childers . It also runs through much of the former Isis Shire , whose administrative center was Childers.
The Isis Highway is designated State Highway 52 between Ban Ban Springs and Childers. From Childers to Bundaberg it is called Staatsstrasse 3.
The highest point on the highway is 312 m, the lowest is 14 m.
