The drive
Biloela and Monto sit on the same Burnett Highway corridor, so the drive is direct - about 95 km and a bit over an hour heading south. Confirm the current distance and time with a mapping app, and check for any notable stops on the day.
Break the drive near Monto
Roughly 19 km north of Monto, the turn-off to Hurdle Gully Lookout at Coominglah State Forest makes a scenic detour if you've time - big country views and a picnic spot.
Stay and explore in Monto
Pull into Monto for a feed, a cold beer and a room at the Grand, wander the art trail, and set yourself up for Cania Gorge and Lake Cania the next day.
