Bunya Mountains road network is a group of roads that provide access to the mountain community from various lowland localities. The network ensures continuity of access in times of flooding or other natural disasters, and during planned maintenance activities. The locality of Bunya Mountains includes the Bunya Mountains National Park and the enclosed locality of Mowbullan. The area hosts a small residential community plus many tourism accommodation venues. [1]
Located to the north-west of Toowoomba, north-east of Dalby and south-west of Kingaroy, in Queensland, Australia, Bunya Mountains is also a popular day-trip destination. [2] Most traffic from north of Brisbane travels through Maidenwell, [3] to the east of the mountain, or Kumbia, to the north, while most traffic from south and west of Brisbane approaches from the south.
