Stanthorpe Queensland
Stanthorpe in Queensland is in the heart of the Granite Belt.
The town gives easy access to:
- Big sky panoramas,
- Spectacular countryside dotted with precariously balancing prehistoric granite boulders, and
- A generally cooler, temperate climate.
Previously known as Quart Pot Creek, a mining rush in 1872 gave Stanthorpe its name. Stannum is Latin for tin and thorp is English for village. The town of Stanthorpe (pop. 5500) is now the beating heart of the Granite Belt. There is a rich multicultural and agricultural heritage, and a cosmopolitan mix of residents, backpackers and travellers.
Flowing through the town is the beautiful Quart Pot Creek. Here there are more than 5km of walking and cycling tracks and great picnic and BBQ facilities. In Stanthorpe’s main CBD, you will discover an amazing range of cafés, shops, gift stores and an art gallery.
Enjoy our European traditions, sit and relax in the Stanthorpe Piazza, with boutique coffee in hand. Or sit under the famous Roll Up Tree public art piece and watch the world go by.
Stanthorpe is an attractive rural service centre set in the middle of a rich, mixed farming area. Here rural activities range from vineyards, wineries and orchards to sheep and cattle grazing.
Stanthorpe is unusually cool for Queensland. In winter the night time temperatures in the town often fall below zero. The average minimum temperature for July is 0.3°C (there’s even an occasional winter snow-fall!).
Today the district is known for its cold climate apples, grapes and stone fruit as well as sheep and cattle grazing.
