Girraween National Park, founded in 1966, is a day trip from Stanthorpe. Start at the Girraween Visitor Precinct, where the visitor information building has interactive displays about the landscape and wildlife. The shortest outing is the Granite Arch walk, an easy circuit to a natural archway formed by massive balancing boulders. With older or more patient walkers, The Junction walk leads to rock holes along Bald Rock Creek where you can cool off with a dip. The trade-off is food: the park’s facilities list names barbecues and picnic tables but mentions no cafe or shop, so plan on bringing a picnic unless you know otherwise.
