It's early May, we'll be into winter soon...

You could be forgiven for thinking that it is winter already. A couple of cool mornings to start the week. Down to minus 3 yesterday morning & about minus 1 this morning. Beautiful clear blue skies and crystal clear night sky with that beautiful band of stars.

This time last year, this was the Earth Cabin site.

What a change a year can make!

It's great news to report that we have received end to end bookings for the last 4 weeks and already have another 4 bookings into July.

This is the site for the Soul Cabin.
Not as much rock, softer setting near the Tree of Life Spiritual Walk. 
Many friends from Brisbane and elsewhere have preferred this site because of the open sky.
​So, it will be a little bit different!

Building of the Soul Cabin is planned to start in November this year.
It will be interesting to watch and see this time next year.

Shawn & Sandra Palmer, our impressive builders at 4th Pig, are currently working on a huge multi-million $ project at the Sydney Art Gallery. Practice makes perfect!

One of the beautiful aspects of Stanthorpe & the Granite Belt is the changing of the seasons - winter, spring, summer & autumn change the view... Winter comes with a mix of frost & fire... drink a glass of red and take the time to realise... and before you know it, spring's sneaking up you.

Now is the time to plan ahead. ​The Stanthorpe Rare Wildflower Consortium has posted the dates for the 2021 WILDFLOWER WALKS
Everyone, the 2021 spring time wildflower walks are as follows:
- Wildflower walk 1: Sun 22 August at Amiens state forest
- Wildflower walk 2: Sun 19 September at Broadwater state forest
- Wildflower walk 3: Sun 17 October at Girraween National Park
Lock in the dates.

For now, let's settle down in front of the fire & pass the port around.
​Enjoy the Gem in the Crown, the Granite Belt of Queensland.
