Kingsthorpe is a destination with loads of cool stories to tell. If you reckon your life's been a bit boring lately, a trip here is the perfect answer!
The nation's capital, Canberra, is situated about 900 kilometres to the south of Kingsthorpe.
Take a deep breath and contemplate the natural surroundings of Ravensbourne National Park. It lies 40 kilometres away from Kingsthorpe. You'll also find a bit of peace and quiet at Highfields Falls, 15 kilometres away.
Get away from all the distractions of modern technology by whiling away an hour or two at Gordon Park.
Peacehaven Botanic Park and Laurel Bank Park are close to the middle of Charlton, 7 kilometres to the east. Eager for more? Gowrie Junction, 8 kilometres to the east of Kingsthorpe, boasts Michael Park and the Highfields Pioneer Village.
Do a bit of shopping and see what's on offer in Harristown. This place is 16 kilometres to the southeast and not too far from Queens Park, the City Golf Club and the Empire Theatre. That being said, you shouldn't forget about the Cobb & Co Museum and Japanese Gardens either.
'There is no love sincerer than the love of food,' according to George Bernard Shaw, but throw travel into the mix and it's a match made in heaven. You're invited to merge your two greatest loves by eating and drinking your way across Darling Downs.
A standard meal here often includes beef and bush tucker, two essential elements for which the area is famous for plating up.
You don't need to spend all night reading through the menu while in Kingsthorpe. Dive straight in and devour the area's specialties, such as salt and pepper squid and meat pie.
You probably won't need too much persuading to sample peach melba, a treat that'll make you want to pack everything up and settle down here for good.
They say life's not all beer and skittles, but there's certainly nothing wrong with kicking back with a cold one every now and then. When you're in Darling Downs, make sure it's XXXX Summer Bright Lager.
Want to add some fire to your evening? A few rounds of Bundaberg Spiced Rum should do the trick! On the rocks or neat — the choice is yours!
Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and Riverina Chardonnay are wonderful accompaniments to almost any meal. You needn't be a wine authority to enjoy a nice drop!
It might be time to go, but your trip doesn't end here. Your loved ones will be asking to see photographs of the picturesque Darling Downs region for a long time to come!
Backed up security checkpoints, long lines and delayed flights. Airports can be very taxing. Give yourself extra time to make your way to Brisbane Airport (BNE). Situated 130 kilometres to the east, it's the closest terminal.
Want some hot tips? The Oakey Motor Inn and Oakey Motel are neck and neck when it comes to great service and a refreshing night's sleep.
