Spicer's Gap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spicer's Gap lies 100 km west of Brisbane, Australia, and was the original route over the Great Dividing Range. The road through the pass was originally built by convicts during the 1800s. This trail became an important transport route from to the coast to the agricultural region known as the Darling Downs.
Today it is included in Main Range National Park and is a popular destination for campers and bushwalkers.
A popular resting spot for early governors of Queensland who were travelling through the gap, became known as Governor's Chair Lookout. Lord Kerr, Lord Scott, Sir Charles Fitzroy and Sir George Bowen all sat on the rock in the early 1850's [1]
