Discover the beauty and tranquillity of Queensland’s cool-country highlands on this wonderfully relaxed journey through the Granite Belt. With crisp air, rolling farmland and charming townships, the region is a refreshing contrast to the tropics Queensland is known for. We begin in Stanthorpe, a peaceful town at the heart of the Granite Belt and home to award-winning boutique wineries, fresh seasonal produce and friendly country hospitality. From apple orchards and berry farms to artisan cheeses, chocolates and handmade preserves, each day brings a chance to sample the flavours that make this region so beloved. Scenic highlights such as Donnelly’s Castle Lookout, Girraween National Park and the Granite Belt Christmas Farm showcase the area’s natural beauty and quirky charm.

Further north, Warwick offers a rich blend of grand colonial architecture, heritage streetscapes and warm community spirit. Known as the “Rose and Rodeo Capital,” the town is filled with beautifully preserved sandstone buildings, historic homesteads and fascinating stories of early settlers who shaped the Southern Downs. Visits to Glengallan Homestead, Pringle Cottage and charming local producers bring the region’s history and character to life, while time in Brisbane allows you to explore the city’s cultural precincts and iconic Southbank. With thoughtful inclusions, delicious meals, and comfortable accommodation throughout, this tour captures the essence of country Queensland — welcoming, scenic and full of memorable moments.
