Stephen and Paulie decided to have a weekend away. Stephen has been away a bit (Sydney, the U.S.), so some alone time was in order. Olivia stayed with Chloe, and the intrepid explorers headed for Stanthorpe in Queensland's "Granite Belt". The area is 3 hours south-west of Brisbane. It is up on the eastern spine of the Great Dividing Range at the end of the New England Tableland. It's at an altitude of about 800 metres, so it gets cold. Sub zero in Winter. It's a unique area. Yep- plenty of granite which when worn away makes for a sandy rough soil similar to parts of France. Originally settled by Italian immigrants, now various wine producers, apple, and stone fruit growers do their thing. The guys had a great break. During a run on the Saturday morning the guys watched a bunch of Grey Kangaroos hop their merry way up a nearby hill. But no camera! After a nice feed at a local restaurant that night ("Shiraz"- lovely), they slept in too late to catch the bouncy beasts the next morning but Stephen's rugged bush skills meant a tracking expedition was in order. On Sunday the duo retuned and had a quick Mother's Day catch up. As it turns out Chris and Louise got back that day from their own adventure to India, The Middle East and Italy. They unexpectedly caught up over a curry. - click to return to home page -
