Paul and Dixies Stanthorpe Quickie, Day 3
Stanthorpe to Woodenbong via MT Lindsay Road.
Leaving Stanthorpe we saw a bit of rain ahead so took a brief detour up the biggest hill we could see, and discovered MT Mari lookout on the outskirts of town
The lookout only offered a view to the West over the township,
But a service road up to a comms tower offered additional views to the East
The short time spent at the lookout was sufficient for the rain shower ahead to pass so we were back in business!
At this point our original intention was to turn South to Tenterfield,
The road sure looked inviting..

However we had decided on continuing to Liston for a coffee at a Lavender farm before returning to tackle the Tenterfield stretch..
The road to Liston wasnt too shabby either
Not much to see riding through Liston.
Entering the Lavender farm.

After very average coffee, and a browse in the gift shop resulting in a few purchases, we got chatting to the down to earth owners and I asked about the condition of the road Northward to Legume,We were assured it was in good condition as they had only travelled it a few days before.
At this point we decided to extend our journey Northward as the surrounding countryside was just amazing, and we could revisit the original shorter route another day.
We were NOT dissappointed.
I reckon this place is photographed quite a bit judging by the track worn to its overgrown Arbor.
Welcome home.
Front gate long since unused.

I wonder about the large fireplace attatched to two small separated rooms? Has the main house been “lost” to fire or removed? It too would have had a fireplace.Where is it? Has this “outbuilding” been put in its place? As this building is some way from the Arbor I reckon a house stood between it and this building.
