Kilcoy-Murgon Road is a major inland rural road located in Queensland, Australia. It is a state-controlled district road (number 491) rated as a local road of regional significance (LRRS).[1] [2] [3]
The road runs from the D'Aguilar Highway in to the Bunya Highway in, a distance of 120km (80miles). In it runs concurrent with the Burnett Highway for a short distance. It intersects with Murgon–Barambah Road in Murgon. The road provides a vital link between Kilcoy and Murgon. It travels through large forests of pine plantations and the historic timber town of Jimna.
The route starts off at Kilcoy and is a sealed two-laned road from Kilcoy to Jimna, there are some long windy sections that require some care. The road beyond Jimna is mostly unsealed but is maintained as a good gravel road, that is unfenced in some sections.
