Places to stop off along the Sydney to Brisbane railway?

It’s hard to say exactly what your goals are, but a few thoughts:

The train may end up taking longer than bus, since buses go directly between Sydney and your desired destinations (see greyhound map and train map).

If you are into overnight buses, you could consider taking one from Sydney to Byron Bay and hanging out there. Around $90 right now. This way you save on accommodation as well.

JetStar flies from Sydney to Gold Coast airport (OOL) for as little as $49. You can literally walk from that airport to the nearest beach in less than 10 minutes. You could hang out in that area (Surfer’s Paradise, etc.) and then get a bus to Brisbane.

So how much is it for train or plane? Have you considered Premier Motor Services (Bus)? It quoted me $95 for one-way full fare Sydney-Brisbane. Or check out the hostel boards or this rideshare site; the route Sydney-Brisbane is quite popular and it should be easier to get an even cheaper lift where you are more flexible with routes and sightseeing.

Byron Bay comes to mind as a stop, and most people like it. I was there twice and it’s imho quite overrated and didn’t live up to my expectations. Very touristy; expensive rates at hotels and hostels; not much more to see than beach and lighthouse, but you can go for some nice walks along the beach there. You should also be able to get a bus tour for a day to Nimbin; try that if you haven’t been there before 🙂
