Default How long does it take to drive from Sunshine Coast to Brisbane?

Hi all, Has anyone drove from the Sunshine Coast to Brisbane? If so how long (hrs) did it take you?

If you haven't done this yourself, do you know anyone that has, how long did it take them and from what parts from and to did they travel?

Thanks

Hi we were in Oz in May and we travelled from Sydney right up to Sunshine Coast, From what I can remember I think it took us about 2-3 hours from Brisbane to Noosa.

Hope this helps

you should be able to get from city to caloundra (bottom end of coast) in under an hour on a good day. peak traffic times would be longer. Noosa at the top end can be about 2 hours depending on roadworks and which way you go. maroochydore usually 1-1.5 hours.

Depends upon where you leave from and very much upon the time of day but a rough idea:
Caloundra to Queen st Brisbane 90k 1 hr 10 mins
Mooloolaba to Queen st Brisbane 98k 1hr 15mins
Noosa to Queen st Brisbane 138k 1 hr 37 mins
Gympie to Queen st Brisbane 168k 2 hrs
