Mount Lindesay, Queensland, Australia

The Mount Lindesay Highway is a highway in Queensland which has been given the national route number 13. It runs from Brisbane, where it leaves Ipswich Road in the suburb of Moorooka (as Beaudesert Road to the Logan Motorway), to the New South Wales border where it becomes the Summerland Way heading south to Kyogle.

The highway used to extend to Tenterfield but that section of the road, which includes some unpaved portions, was decommissioned as a highway by the New South Wales Government.

It is quite a scenic road, particularly south of Beaudesert. It connects to the northern end of the Lions Road a scenic drive between Innesplain and the Summerland Way just south of Rosebery, passing Mount Chinghee National Park and Border Ranges National Park on the way.

It is named after Mount Lindesay, the residue of a solidified magma core, that is part of the Mount Warning volcanic area and is situated in the western extreme of Border Ranges National Park.

Between 2007 and 2009 4.5 km of the highway in Logan was upgraded.^[1] The work included building service roads so that local traffic didn't have to travel on the highway, thereby reducing congestion.
