It’s Queensland’s apple and grape capital and the annual harvest is in full swing. Interestingly it didn’t all begin with food but with minerals.
Stanthorpe was actually built on the back a tin mining boom in the 1800s but now everything is turning to gold. Gold?? Yes it is autumn and at 1000 metres above sea level the region is a sea of golden leaves from grapevines and fruit trees. Queensland FBIs can really get your teeth into the best Stanthorpe apples if you visit us now. You can even pick your own which will cut the food miles down to about half a metre! Take advantage of the autumn harvest with a Granite Belt Gold special offer online now.
