Shell Motor Tours for Queensland gives thirty-two tours of interest from Brisbane which could have been enjoyed by those fortunate enough to own a car circa 1926 – afternoon runs, day picnic tours and longer tours to Gympie, Toowoomba, Warwick and even Sydney.

Apart from the detailed travel descriptions (which would have been a boon before GPS was available), the book includes maps and photographs which give an insight into the places and travel at the time.
