Birds at Queen Mary Falls





Daggs falls on the way to Queen Mary falls

January 28, 2015

Stayed at Stanthorpe last evening, this morning did a tourist road tour around the cite, 35Km around Amiens Road where all the apples are grown in this area. Also vegetables and strawberries and herbs.
Then back to the city to post parcels home and to do a walk about to see the CBD of the town and take photos of the older buildings.
Then to the information centre to get information about Queen Mary Falls.
On through Killarney to the falls where we will stay for the night. 
Still raining this is the fifth day of very gray weather with rain showers and strong winds, hope that it will clear by morning so we can do the teck to the falls. On the way here we passed through beautiful farm land but no photos due to the rain.

Left Tenterfield heading to Stanthorpe. Stopped on the way at Girraween National Park and hiked into the Pyramid and the Granite Arch. Then on to Stanthorpe arriving in early afternoon and had a walk around the town and then found a caravan park. Not as nice as Tenterfield but the facilities are very clean. Today we crossed from New South Wales to Queensland at Wallangarra but tomorrow we will again return to NSW because we want to go to another national park.
