Brisbane to Stanthorpe
Driving Time: 2hrs
Distance: 218km
Collect your Cosy Campervan rental in Brisbane and head west towards the Lockyer Valley. Drop into Preston Peak Wines for a tasting, or trot on over to Forsdale, where you and a four-hoofed friend can enjoy a one- or two-hour horseback ride through stunning country landscapes.
Further south, the Darling Downs Zoo offers close encounters with big cats, monkeys and Aussie animals. Or you can taste a dram at Castle Glen, Queensland’s only whisky distillery. Continue on to Stanthorpe, the heart of the state’s ‘Granite Belt’ and home to a number of heritage buildings.
