We stopped off at the Aratula BP for their fantastic breakfasts.
First stop was at Sutton's Cidery and Juice Factory for a spot of afternoon tea. Here's their famous apple pie served with Lick ice cream.
When we stay with the extended family this is our accommodation of choice. It sleeps 10 and is super cosy.
We hit the streets for a lively bit of exercise.
We headed to Ballandean for a spot of sightseeing.
We stopped and took a photo of this pyramid in the middle of a grassy field. Bizarre!!
The Bramble Patch was perfect for brunch as always.
The owners had opened up their garden especially for the festival. Their garden is simply paradise.
Then it was time for the Grand Parade in the main street of Stanthorpe.
We had early dinner at Anna's Restaurant but alas, we were having too much fun feeding our faces to take any photographs of the food - needless to say it's worth a visit. Anna's has the most amazing buffet of their a-la-carte specialities on Friday and Saturday nights.
We sat near the bridge that crosses Quart Pot Creek and took in the fireworks display. For a small country town the fireworks were epic!
The next day we stopped by Heavenly Chocolate and tried some of their amazing hot chocolate varieties. Miss P doesn't like milk/dark chocolate but she was happy to see they had included a white chocolate variety.
On to the Girraween National Park. We walked across the granite boulders which litter the park.
Then it was time for the Multicultural Carnival and Wine Fiesta in Stanthorpe's Weeroona Park. There are bands, stalls offering all sorts of food and of course wine from the surrounding wineries.
A great long weekend again with all of our family. Can't wait for the next festival in two years' time.
Until next time xx
