a trip to Stanthorpe

Recently I travelled to Stanthorpe to witness a beautiful friend of mine get married.


Growing up on a sheep property nearby, Stanthorpe was our major centre for shopping, doctor, dentist etc and two of my younger sisters were born there, so it has a special place in our hearts.


Located about 220km south west of Brisbane close to the border of NSW, Stanthorpe is the heart of the Granite Belt area which is famous for it's amazing fruit, vineyards and wineries. There are many national parks nearby, including Girraween and Bald Rock, which provide some great bush walking tracks and sights.


I arrived just in time to wander down to the little creek by my hotel and snap this picture.
