.
It passes through the Queensland's Darling Downs region. Typical scenery are cattle grazing fields, orchards and grain growing fields. Its elevation to National Highway was only in the 1990s replacing Cunningham Highway for the Goondiwindi - Brisbane section, rerouting interstate traffic through Toowoomba and the Warrego Highway instead as it presents a less steeper gradient compared to the old routing, making the journey, especially for trucks, faster
