Getting There

  • Car

    If you're driving from Brisbane, take the M3 motorway heading south. Merge onto the Pacific Motorway (M1) and continue south for approximately 150 km. Take the exit toward Stanthorpe/Ballandean (State Route 49) and continue on this road until you reach Ballandean. In Ballandean, follow the signs to Girraween National Park, which is located on Pyramids Rd. Expect to pay for fuel along the way, and possibly a small entrance fee to the park.

  • Public Transportation

    From Brisbane, take a Greyhound bus or a similar service heading to Stanthorpe. Once in Stanthorpe, you will need to arrange for a taxi or a rideshare service to take you to Girraween National Park, as there is no direct public transport to the park itself. This could incur additional costs for the taxi or rideshare service.

  • Car Rentals

    If you’re in a larger city like Brisbane or Toowoomba, consider renting a car for the trip. Many car rental services are available at airports and city centers. After renting, follow the driving instructions provided above. Renting a car will allow you to explore the national park at your own pace, which is highly recommended due to the park's vastness and scenic beauty.

  • Tour Services

    Check for any organized tours from Brisbane or nearby cities that may include transportation to Girraween National Park. These tours often provide a guided experience and may include costs for park entry, meals, and other amenities.
