[talk-au] Bulloo Developmental Rd and Adventure Way FSWQ

[Owen Clancy]

Hi Bob

That would be more of less consistent with the State Strategic Tourism
Route that runs through our town. There is an official network of these
"drive tourism" routes that criss crosses Queensland, and almost all the
Queensland A roads have tourist route alternates. There is a map of them in
this PDF from TMR
https://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/~/media/communityandenvironment/touristservicesigns/driving-experiences.pdf
They also all have route designators, e.g. AW for adventure way, although
adding that might be of limited benefit is it is not signposted as AW. Some
however are signposted very well. Notionally the Adventure Way runs west
from Brisbane, along with the Warrego Way to Dalby, but west of Brisbane
the Warrego Higway is mostly signposted with the alternate name Darren
Lockyer Way. If you were going to be consistent with our local route (ACW)
- well signposted around here - you would add AU:QLD:SSTR:AW

Cheers
