Spent a hefty amount of time there in 09 ranging from 4 days to 15 days over a 4 months period, maybe 5-6 visits total. Never had a car.

Take a train to ipswich, then leave the train station and there is a bus (maybe 620/613, actually i've got no idea, check this) that goes to Yanmanto (sp?) shops, you can catch this with your train ticket. Cheapest place to shop is here, there is a woolworths.
From where the shops are if you look south, you'll see an overpass of the HWY (cunningham maybe?) walk along the road (under the overpass) and just after the lights you'll see the perfect spot to hitch from. Easy 40km hitch to Boonah, only other significant town is peaks crossing, i'd often decline rides there as its easier to just hitch straight through.
Boonah locals are brilliant and welcoming. I've often been dropped of at Mt. French by them.
I would also always hitch out with 2 packs and hands full with bags of food, never had any issues and only had to walk the hill once on a rest day.
Good luck and enjoy.

Friday/saturday night is heap a plate night at the doogs. Go hard and don't be shy. Pity the place isn't the same since the old owners left last year.
