Route

This year’s Rally Queensland headed to Gympie, but started with an unusual stage at the Qlink depot in the southern suburbs of Brisbane.  Daylight stages took crews north through the Woodford/Beerburrum forests, into the Kenilworth/Imbil forests and to the stages in the Glastonbury and Brooyar forests west of Gympie. Night stages then went back through the Brooyar and Glastonbury stages then south west to Gallangowan, and back to Gympie via the Kandanaga and Imbil forests. Sundays five daylight stages started with a quick tarmac dash around the back streets of Gympie, then into the Imbil forests and final spectator stage near Beerburrum.
