Stanthorpe, perfect for outdoorsy types and wine connoisseurs.

Stanthorpe, Queensland's Wine Capital

And in nearby Amiens is the sicilian style Giardino's Cafe with Australian influence. I have enjoyed a meal there, but have not done the farm tour.

Nice article from Jenny. I can't believe that I have lived here for 60 years and not heard of Stanthorpe.

Melbourne now has three seasons - hot, dry, cold - the wet disappeared with global warming. And this week we have had all of them. Nearly 40C the other day, this afternoon 18C.

How far is Stanthorpe from you Monty? Am I hearing possible roadtrip?! (If close enough and talk about unpredictable weather!

Stay cool, warm, or dry out there!

Charisse, your question puzzles me - the answer is about 2 hours plane flight, but where are you?

Hi Monty - I'm in Los Angeles. Sorry about the confusion. I was referencing a possible roadtrip for you since you've never been (and depending on where you are!)

And, presuming you fly to Brisbane, about three hours drive.
