Stanthorpe is a town on the Queensland border about 240 kilometres north of Armidale along the New England Highway. We stopped at Stanshorpe on a recent caravan adventure and chose to spend the night at the Top of the Town Tourist Park located alongside the Showground on High Street. This is a lovely big park with great amenities and large sites - not to mention the friendly welcome and great service.
It is at the heart of the Granite Belt with precariously balanced granite boulders dotting the countryside. This area is recognised for wine making and large range of produce - apples, pears, berries, stone fruit, persimmons, figs, olives and a huge range of vegetables in season. It can be cool in winter with the occasional snow fall but a lovely area to explore.
