About Stanthorpe
A beautiful town set in in the Granite Belt, Stanthorpe is the centre for a highly successful and varied farming area, ranging from wineries, orchards and vineyards, to sheep and cattle grazing.
Because of its graphical location, Stanthorpe is unusually cool for the typical Queensland climate. With an altitude ranging from 760 to over 1000 metres, the Granite Belt experiences cold winters – sometimes with snow. The night time temperature for winter averages only 0.3°C. Summer, however, provides a mild day time temperature with cool night time temperatures, making it a perfect getaway for people in the heat zones.
First settled in 1827 by Allan Cunningham, after whom Cunningham's Gap was named, Stanthorpe wasn't fully realised as a place to live until thirty years later when a solitary coach station was established. Remaining a lonely outpost until 1871, the discovery of tin saw a flood of miners into the area. With the coach station becoming a regular destination for Cobb & Co, the arrival of the railway in 1881, and the discovery of the rich fertile soil perfectly suitable for fruit growing, the town quickly grew.
