The border area of the Southern Downs, centered around Sorrento and Dalveen, has some beautiful National Parks to explore in both Queensland and Northern New South Wales. Take a drive out to and experience some magnificent countryside, have a picnic, go on some great bush-walks and see the beautiful waterfalls.

What a pleasant way to spend the day. Make sure you take your camera.
