Default 5km speedo check signs, close to brisbane

Does anybody know where some 5km speedo check signs are close to or in brisbane?

I know there is a set near maryborough on the highway and some just past cunninghams gap towards warwick.

I need to calibrate the terratrip rally meter over a measured km.

Thanks in advance.

I think there's a set on the Bruce Highway coming from the Sunshine Coast as well, a few kilometres before the turn off to the Gateway Bridge, not sure of the suburb, they must be about 7km before that turnoff.
