Brisbane - Getting There By Road

There are five major roads into and out of the Brisbane metropolitan area, numbered M1 to M5. The main north-south road is the M1, which connects the Pacific Highway in the south with the Bruce Highway in the north. When travelling from the south from Sydney and the Gold Coast, the Pacific Highway becomes the South East Freeway (M3) and runs right into the city centre.
