Spicers Gap Road

The road stretches through mountainous terrain with stone-pitched surfaces and sections reinforced with logs, connecting the Darling Downs region to Brisbane.

Constructed between 1859 and 1865, this engineering project required substantial government funding and convict labor to establish a viable transport route.

The path follows traditional Indigenous Australian trading routes that connected inland communities with coastal regions before European settlement.

Current access restrictions limit vehicle traffic to specific segments, while visitors can explore preserved sections of the nineteenth-century road construction.

Natural spring Moss's Well, named after road contractor Edward Moss, remains intact along the eastern passage of the historical route.
