Granite Belt Wine Country Visitors’ Guide 2017–2018
Granite Belt Wine Country Visitors’ Guide 2017–2018 The New England Highway runs for more than 62kms through the heart of the Granite Belt, from Dalveen and The Summit to Stanthorpe, Glen Aplin, Ballandean and beyond. It meets the border with NSW at the historic town of Wallangarra. The Granite Belt is part of the Southern Queensland Country region. granitebeltwinecountry.com.au Welcome Granite Belt Wine Country The Granite Belt, which forms part of the Southern Queensland Country region, is situated on the northern edge of the great New England Tableland, right on the border between Queensland and NSW. At 1000 metres above sea level, the air here is intoxicating – sparkling, fresh – incredibly clean. Here the sky seems a deeper blue. The Granite Belt has always been a place of rest and relaxation – a place where people came to enjoy nature or recover from illness or war. In 1905 the State Government gazetted the region as Queensland’s official ‘health resort’. And it remains so to this day. This is a landscape of dramatic beauty and diversity with four distinct seasons. Here, 200-million-year-old Triassic granite formations emerge from thick forests and house-sized boulders balance precariously one on top of the other. On the Granite Belt you can feast on local fresh produce. Or indulge in a luxury B&B, hide away in a secluded private villa, cottage or cabin or stay in town in a friendly motel or apartment. Granite Belt Wine Country hosts work hard to make your stay in our region unforgettable. It’s also an outstanding place to grow wine grapes, apples, strawberries and all kinds of stone fruit and vegetables.

Southern Portion of Queensland Showing Surveyed Runs, 1872 By
Southern portion of Queensland showing surveyed runs, 1872 By: Maurice French Black soil and ‘rolling grass seas’ The quintessential Darling Downs landscape of the nineteenth century was characterised by black soil and ‘rolling grass seas’ which held the sheep, woolsheds and large pastoral stations of wealthy squatters. One of Queensland's most productive pastoral areas, it became celebrated in both art and literature. The Darling Downs is complex and difficult to define and locate on a map, being between 130-250 km west of Brisbane. Ranging from 500 m to 650 m above sea level, it is a distinctive cool region of Queensland bounded in the north by the Bunya Mountains, in the east by the Great Dividing Range, in the south by the Granite Belt and Herries Range, and on the west by the Condamine River. Initially part of a vast, shallow inland sea, a series of volcanic eruptions over millions of years formed heavy clay sheets around Dalby and Chincilla, the red soils around Toowoomba, the stony clay soils near Stanthorpe, the heavy black soils of the extensive Condamine River flood plain and the distinctive round, flat-topped basalt cones – ‘sugarloafs’ – that stand as sentinels in the open, well-grassed plains. Explorer Ludwig Leichhardt described the region in a letter of 27 March 1844: Ranges of middling height, now a chain of cones, now flat-topped mountains covered with brush … accompany on each side the plains two to three miles broad, and many miles long. The soil is black … the vegetation is quite different from … the other side of the coast range; the grasses more various … The creeks are deeply cut, with steep covered with reeds.

CONCISE HISTORY OF THE COLONY, AND COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF ALL COUNTRY TRAVERSED BY THE RAILWAY LINES, WITH INTERESTING EXTRA INFORMATION FOR TOURISTS , TRAVELLERS, AND ALL OTHER CLASSES. j3Ub ti ,sh xz : GORDON GOTCH, QUEEN STREET , AND RAILWAY BOOKSTALLS, BRISBANE. A ND AT SYDNEY , MELBOURNE , AND LONDON. This is a blank page AUTHOR'S PREFACE. WHEN the Queensland Railway Commissioners asked me to under- take the preparation of a Railway and Tourists' Guide, I recognised at once the honour of their confidence, and also the grave responsi- bility of so important a work. The chief problem before me was condensation. The picture was vast, the canvas limited. In a book of 1176 pages there can only be a highly concentrated view of so immense a territory as Queensland, such varied scenery, and such boundless resources. With the exception of the chapter on "Coal," and "Cook- town to the Gulf," the whole of the work has been written by myself ; all information the result of my own research, and all description from my own personal observation in a general tour over the whole of the Colony. There was special care to ensure accuracy of historical information and descriptive details, so that the whole could be issued to the public as a reliable work qualified for educational purposes. before me was the clearly apparent public duty to make the book strictly impartial to all parts of the Colony, and also sternly guard against everything in the nature of an advertisement for any trade, profession, business, or individual.
