The Summerland Way is a 199 kilometre state route, designated B91, in New South Wales. It runs in a generally northern direction from Grafton to the Boonah turnoff just south of Rathdowney, Queensland. With the decommissioning 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, nearly A$20 million has been allocated for road improvements.
It was named so as the region in runs through is a popular tourist area for people during summer.
The Summerland Way is a great alternative route to the Pacific Highway offering a much quieter stream of traffic, although it cannot be recommended for large trucks in the northern stretch between Rathdowney and Brisbane.
