The Granite Belt

This week we spend 3 days in the Granite Belt, we went via Toowoomba and were pleased to find the Carnival of Flowers was on that weekend. The kids loved the spectacular colours on show throughout Queens Park, it was certainly something beautiful to see. We then continued on to Stanthorpe where we stayed at the Top of Town caravan park, the park is close to town and central to all the wineries and attractions in the area. The park is very well maintained and has the cleanist amenities I have ever seen. We spent a couple of hours exploring the Giraween National Park and were amazed by the rocky landscape and the beautiful wildflowers in bloom throughout the park. Unfortunately due to rain we weren't able to complete all of the walks. We did get to check out the campgrounds and will definitely return and spend more time in the National Park. There is plenty for the hole family to do in the area, we went cheese tasting, olive tasting, apple juice tasting and a little wine tasting too. We would have like to take the kids to the maze but again the rain kept us away. I was amazed at how much wildlife we saw in the area as well, it seemed everywhere we turned we saw Wallabies, Kangaroos, a Koala and different varieties of Rosella's. The Granite Belt is a beautiful area with plenty for all the family to enjoy we had a great experience and will visit again soon.
