The route at a glance
The Noosa–Agnes Water corridor.
Noosa to Agnes Water heads north from the Sunshine Coast up the Queensland coast, about 373 kilometres to the small beach town that serves as the southern access point for the Great Barrier Reef. Premier Motor Service and Greyhound Australia both run the corridor, at noticeably different fares. Agnes Water lies well off the Bruce Highway near the Town of 1770, so the last stretch is a detour from the main coastal route, and northbound services arrive late in the evening or overnight rather than in the afternoon.

Travel tips
What to know before you go.
Book accommodation that allows a late check-in. Northbound arrivals into Agnes Water land at night, and the town is small enough that turning up unannounced after hours is a problem. Compare both operators before booking, as the fare gap on this corridor is large. If you are heading on to the Town of 1770 itself, it is a few kilometres further and there is no frequent local service between the two, so plan that last leg in advance.
