We’ve spent the past few days exploring various areas in Brisbane as well as travelling west a few hours into the interior of Queensland. The weather has been perfect for walking around – not too hot and the rain has held off until the late afternoon!
Brisbane has a very lovely botanical garden and we spent a morning looking at the different plants, trees and flowers. Some of the fern-like trees have been transplanted from a gorge in Western Australia and they are millions of years old!! It was very peaceful walking around – hard to believe the city was right there!! That night (Thursday) we took the ferry back into the downtown area for dinner. Brisbane is beautiful at night!
On Friday we left Brisbane and drove southwest about 3 hours to the granite belt region which is a wine producing area. Margie booked a really nice house for us to stay in so we can visit the area for the weekend. We stopped at 2 wineries on our way to Stanthorpe (that’s the town we’re staying in for the weekend). The first one called Castle Glenn was a bit weird – they had lots of liqueurs but very few wines! We decided not to do a wine tasting here. Our second stop was at Heritage Wines – a very nice stop!! We did a wine tasting here and bought a fair bit of wine to enjoy later!! Our last stop was for dinner at Balancing Heart Vineyard. We enjoyed some amazing pizza while sitting on their patio as the sun went down – an excellent end to a great day!!
