Stanthorpe Weekender

My partner & I have been saving for a holiday to Thailand... we figure that next Autumn will be a much better time to travel abroad. However, in desperate need of a holiday we ventured out to Stanthorpe for a weekend escape. . . just for somthing different.

We stayed at Ridgemill Estate... makers of Wine by Design.



Our Cabin at Sunset.




It was cold.. very cold. So cold that the fire burned all day... even at a maximum temperature of 10 degrees.

On the plus side, there were wineries, fresh fruit & scenery. We even saw a goat on a rock!

One attraction worth a visit is Girraween Nation Park - basically, there are massive granite boulders that tower above forests and heaths, spectacular wildflower displays and an exceptionally wide variety of wildlife.. including wild bee's!

Whilst the shopping isn't so great & most stores are closed on the weekends, the Granite Belt is a really cute place to visit.

I can't wait to go back in summer!
