State Route 85 (Brisbane Valley Highway and D'Aguilar Highway)

The D'Aguilar uses several route numbers:

  • State Route 85: Bruce Highway/Caboolture - Brisbane Valley Highway Junction (24km west of Kilcoy)
  • National Route 17: Brisbane Valley Highway junction - Yarraman
  • A3: Yarraman - Nanango
  • State Route 96: Nanango - Kingaroy

Brisbane Valley Highway:

The Brisbane Valley Highway leaves the Warrego Highway near Ipswich as NR17 and travels in a northwesterly direction, following the Brisbane River until it reaches the D'Aguilar Highway, where it ends. National Route 17 continues with the D'Aguilar Highway and eventually, the Burnett Highway. State Route 85 joins the highway from its beginning off the D'Aguilar Highway, and leaves the highway turning west at Esk. The highway crosses Wivenhoe Dam.

Towns along the Brisbane Valley Highway include Ipswich, Esk and Toogoolawah.

D'Aguilar Highway:

The D'Aguilar Highway (State Route 85) is a predominantly two-lane highway linking the towns of Caboolture and Kingaroy in Queensland. Major towns along the route include Caboolture, Woodford, Kilcoy, Yarraman, Nanango and Kingaroy.
