Route description

The road runs west from Nerang and then north to Mount Nathan, leaving the Nerang River catchment for that of the Coomera River. From there it turns west and south-west, following the Coomera River valley upstream to Witheren, crossing the river three times. At Witheren the road passes Kokoda Barracks, the headquarters of the Australian Army’s Land Warfare Training Centre. From there it crosses a watershed to Canungra, where it encounters Canungra Creek, a tributary of the Albert River.

From Canungra it runs north-west, following the Canungra Creek valley downstream to Tamborine, where it turns south-west, crossing the Albert River and continuing generally south-west, following the Albert River valley upstream to Beaudesert.
