Summer-time: - Things are still lovely and cool on the Granite Belt while the coast is getting steamy. 1000 metres above sea level, Stanthorpe enjoys warm days and refreshingly cool starlit nights. Without the humidity, crowded shopping malls and traffic congestion of coastal Queensland, Stanthorpe is a world away. Warm and sunny days without humidity, the roses and lavender are in bloom and stone-fruit is in abundance. Go swimming in a cool stream at Girraween, or just stroll along the banks of Quart Pot Creek. Grapes are being harvested ready for this year’s vintage, and fresh seasonal fruit is being picked. Enjoy fresh local fruit and berries and buy some more to take home! Enjoy a cool local wine on the shady and breezy patio of The Olivetree Cottage. The Summer-days and Summer-nights are beautiful in Stanthorpe.
