Warwick - Stanthorpe - Wallangarra

For the last week of K's holiday we decided to head inland to the coldest place in Queensland - Stanthorpe - where it regularly gets below zero in winter.


Strapped in and ready to go for another road trip - 10 mins later, fast asleep he peaked too early.



Driving inland towards the Great Dividing Range.



Driving over the Great dividing Range through Cunningham's Gap - the lush rainforest on the top of the range makes way to a dry, flat landscape.




Warwick is the major town in this part of Queensland and the perfect place to stop for breakfast.



After breakfast continuing our journey from Warwick to Stanthorpe, only another 59km.



Walking the streets of Stanthorpe - it was freezing!


Since we came this far it was only another 60km to the New South Wales/Queensland border so we decided to press on.


On the road to Wallangarra - the border town.





Crossing the southern border of Queensland at Wallangarra for a quick stop in New South Wales





Koboshi wasn't terribly impressed...





Tracks to nowhere




The Queensland - New South Wales Border at Wallangarra trainstation. The border runs across the platform so half the station is build in Queensland style for our narrow gauge and the other half has New South Wales architecture and has the wide gauge tracks.





Doing some more border crossing




Back on the road, homewards bound with some bush fires in the mountains.





What a trip! Almost 7 hours on the road... Koboshi proved to be the perfect little traveller.
