HEAD NORTH, WHEN THE SOUTH IS COLDTEAR-OUT MAP #52
MAIN ROUTE (PINK)
Obviously, you can do this route
either way but we headed south.
Jump onto the Bruce Highway
and head for Gordonvale where
you need to turn right onto Gillies
Range Road. Enjoy the beautiful
twisty corners which take you over
to Yungaburra, continuing on over
to Atherton.
Jump onto Kennedy Highway and
head north which takes you up
to Mareeba where you turn right
onto... Kennedy Highway!
Once you get over to Kuranda
there’s a nice little section of
corners to enjoy before heading

make it around this loop.
OPTIONAL ROUTE
(YELLOW)
If the weather is nice and you’re
feeling great why not continue
on with the optional route we
have included.
Once you get to the right turn
at Mareeba, don’t take it but
continue heading north on Byrnes
Street which turns into Mulligan
Highway. Follow this all the way up
to Mount Molloy where you need
to turn right about 1-1.5km just
out of town onto Mossman Mount
Molloy Road. There’s a great little
twisty section just before arriving
in Shannonvale. Continue on until
the T-intersection with the Captain
Cook Highway where you want
to turn right and follow the
amazing Captain Cook Highway
south along the coastline to
