State Route 3: Isis Highway
State Route 3 is a connection route, which joins the
towns of Bundaberg, Kolan South, Maroondan and other
small towns and villages off the highway itself to the
Bruce Highway (NH-A1). The southern terminus is at the
interchange, which opened early 2006, which joins SR3
to NH-A1 at Apple Tree Creek. The northern terminus
is the corner of the Bruce Highway and Mulgrave Street
at Gin Gin.
The other section of the Isis Highway is numbered SR52
and connects the North Burnett region to the sugar producing
Bundaberg and Fraser Coast region. Starting at the Ban
Ban Springs roadhouse on the Burnett Highway, the Isis
Highway heads north-west as State Route 52, passing
through Biggenden before reaching Childers. The highway
continues north-west from Childers, joining the Bruce
Hwy for 5km before heading across sugar cane fields
to Bundaberg.
