State Route 91 (Summerland Way) (Collins Gap to South Grafton)

The Summerland Way is a state route, designated State Route 91 in New South Wales. It runs in generally northern direction from Grafton to the Boonah turnoff just south of Rathdowney, Queensland. With the decomissioning of the Mount Lindesay Highway, the length of the Summerland Way has been increased. It is a good sealed road most of the way, although some of the road north of the Lions Road turn-off gets narrow and poorly graded. However, some improvements have been made or are planned.

It was named Summerland Way as the region it runs through is a popular tourist area for people during summer.

The Summerland Way is usually seen as an alternative route to the Pacific Highway although it's not recommended for large trucks or cars towing caravans.

The Summerland way passes through the towns of Grafton, Casino and Kyogle and there are six rest areas along the route.
