Going camping next month at Sundown National Park near Stanthorpe/Qld comments on the area and camping grounds

Answer 1

The Spring wildflowers should be blooming around Sundown and Girraween around then. You are in for a visual feast. This is a spectacular region to visit.

It will still be a bit cool out at night if you are camping - recommend tracksuit or warm pjs to sleep in. The absolute BEST time of year to go there though.

The visitor information sheet for the park can be seen here

Before going you should check out the park conditions at the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) website http://www.epa.qld.gov.au/projects/park/news.cgi just to make sure there's no alerts or warnings you need to know about.

The following link takes you to the EPA's page on Sundown - gives you information about the park and it's facilities, as well as what you can see/do there and a contact number for the park.

Have a great trip - and don't forget your camera. You'llget to see some of the most contrasting scenery and some truly special sunrises and sunsets while you're there.

Answer 3

I haven't been to Sundown, but Girraween is just near there right. Lot's of rock climbing in that NP. The Pyramid is well worth the effort if you don't mind a bit of exercise... and heights.

Also there are lot's of wineries around Stanthorpe. So if you can get someone to be a designated driver, a tasting tour is a must. I heartily reccomend Castle Glen Liquers. Very nice produce and very friendly staff.

Answer 4

Hi, I haven't been there but I found some information on it.
