Corduroy Road Remains, Archaeological remains of colonial road in Laidley, Australia
The Corduroy Road Remains consist of grey ironbark logs placed side by side, buried under 100-200 millimeters of soil at Toowoomba-Ipswich Road.
The road structure dates back to the 1850s and 1860s when it served as the main transportation route between Ipswich and Drayton for wool drays and supplies.
These remnants demonstrate the engineering methods early Australian settlers used to overcome transportation challenges in difficult terrain during the colonial period.
The site maintains its protected status on the Queensland Heritage Register since 1992, requiring visitors to follow local guidelines for site preservation.
The logs used in construction have experienced gradual deterioration from wet rot and termite activity, yet remain a testament to nineteenth-century infrastructure.
