Driving from Townsville to Brisbane

Jump to last reply

My wife and I are from Scotland and in September 2013 we will be visiting our daughter who lives in Townsville. We plan to fly home from Brisbane and I would like to drive down there from Townsville as the last part of our holiday, taking up to 5 days. I'm told we should stop at Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays. How long should we spend there and is there anywhere else worth stopping at on the way after that.
We also plan to visit Fraser island - should we be stopping there on route or base ourselves in Brisbane to visit it?
