Applethorpe

Naturally enough apple-town (Applethorpe) would have to produce apples, and it does, along with a range of other fruits. This settlement is at the southern end of Granite Belt Drive (previously known as The Fruit Run), the stretch of roadway which shadows the New England Highway to the north of Stanthorpe. It is worthwhile leaving the highway and doing the 'Drive', remembering that best results for purchasing local fruits naturally enough is seasonal.
