Map with all coordinates: The Mount Lindesay Highway is a trunk road in the extreme southeast of the Australian state of Queensland and in the northeast of New South Wales . It connects the suburb of Moorooka of Brisbane with Mount Barney and Mount Lindesay .
In New South Wales, at Woodenbong , the road turns into Mount Lindesay Road . It once led to Tenterfield , but was then downgraded from the highway to an ordinary state road by the New South Wales government. Shortly before Woodenbong, the Summerland Way (S91) branches off to the east , which was extended to south of Rathdowney (QLD) after the Mount Lindesay Highway was dissolved.
The Mount Lindesay Highway is a very scenic road, especially south of Beaudesert . At the border, the road passes immediately west of Mount Chinghee National Park and the Border Ranges National Park .
The road was named after Mount Lindesay , the remainder of a hardened magma core and part of the Mount Warning volcanoes , which is located at the far western end of the Border Ranges National Park.
Between 2007 and 2009, 4.5 km of the highway in the Logan suburb of Brisbane was widened. The work also included the construction of relief roads so that inner-city traffic no longer has to use the highway, thus reducing traffic jams.
