Stanthorpe (pop. 5000) is the main town in the Granite Belt, the chain of hills running along the boundary between New South Wales and Queensland. Lying at an altitude of over 800 m, it has the lowest temperatures in Queensland, but the climate and the soil are suitable for the growing of fruit grapes. In spring there is a glorious show of blossom on the fruit trees, and many species of orchids grow in the area.
