The area is rich in tradition and diversity. The region which is situated on the Queensland and New South Wales border boasts seven National Parks with graded walking trails and facilities and is also host to wineries, orchards, heritage buildings, luxury accommodation and country hospitality. Most national parks have excellent facilities for the camper, while at the same time are very close to the variety of accommodation facilities that are available. The Stanthorpe Tenterfield and Warwick areas boast a wide range of accommodation, from bed and breakfast country retreats, homestays, and cottages to hotels and motels. During the day you can take advantage of being bused around through the vineyards and orchards to the wineries by one of the friendly guided tour operators, or you can visit the many attractions around the area including national parks, heritage buildings, arts and craft gallaries and wineries.
All wineries allow for tasting and have cellar doors sales.
You may also like to visit some of the roadside fruit stalls, which generally have fruit which has been ripened on the fruit trees. The area also boasts dams for fishing swimming and skiing. The area is generally booked out during the festival so it is important to book early. Within two and a half to three hours drive from Brisbane and the Gold Coast, the three main towns in the Border Tourism Area are Stanthorpe, Warwick and Tenterfield.
