"This is an excellent walking tracking follow the river in stanthorpe up to this iconic bridge. The track is very easy to walk, great for young kids. Watch the beautiful quartz pot creek flow over the granite rocks. The track is only a few km's long with a little foot bridge to cross over the creek. If you flood the creek it comes out to the main lake area at Stanthorpe with the information centre at the top of the hill. Great spot."
