When chucking a sickie becomes way too easy, it's time to abandon the corporate treadmill and say hello to Storm King!
It's located 780 kilometres north of Canberra, the capital city of Australia.
There's no need to head too far to take in some nice natural sights. Dig out your car keys and make your way over to Stanthorpe Visitor Information Centre, 8 kilometres away from Storm King, for a relaxed day. Or maybe Bald Rock National Park is more your thing? It sits just 15 kilometres away.
If you can't imagine a holiday without some sports action, check what events are scheduled at Stanthorpe Sports and Country Club. It's likely something will be on while you're in town. You'll find the venue 9 kilometres away in Southern Downs Regional.
Take the opportunity to head to other nearby attractions, such as the Stanthorpe Heritage Museum and the Severn Brae Estate. You will find them 7 kilometres west in Severnlea. Don't want to head back to your hotel just yet? Pyramids Road and the Whiskey Gully Wines are in Stanthorpe, 8 kilometres to the northwest of Storm King.
The Tenterfield Railway Museum, the Sir Henry Parkes Museum and the Tenterfield Showground Park are all pretty close to Tenterfield, 35 kilometres to the south. Need a few more reasons to visit? The Tenterfield Golf Club and Boonoo Boonoo Falls aren't far away either.
Feeling ready to chew, nibble, chomp, gnaw and sip your way around Darling Downs? A world of tantalising flavours awaits you here, so put on your stretchiest jeans and bon appétit!
Once you grab a table and leaf through a menu at a restaurant, you'll notice that beef and bush tucker are two ingredients commonly found in dishes here.
Don't miss the chance to try out salt and pepper squid or meat pie. These signature meals are what Darling Downs is all about.
You might be eating yourself into a food coma, but peach melba is certainly worth it. This much-loved dessert will have your taste buds tingling at the sight of it.
For fans of a satisfying pint, get comfortable at a nearby bar and say XXXX Summer Bright Lager. It's best enjoyed with a side of joke-cracking and mingling with the locals.
Want to get your night going? A shot of Bundaberg Spiced Rum should do the trick! Neat or on the rocks — drink it whichever way you want!
It doesn't matter if you're a wine connoisseur or you don't know your whites from your reds, you're sure to appreciate the regional Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon or Riverina Chardonnay.
Time to head home? Catch a final sunset in the gorgeous Darling Downs region before you say your last goodbye.
With a bit of preparation, getting to Brisbane Airport (BNE), the nearest airport, won't be too much trouble. It's just 190 kilometres northeast of downtown Storm King.
You'll wake up feeling fresh if you book a room at one of our top-rated accommodations, such as the Alure Stanthorpe and Sommerville Valley Tourist Park.
