Stanthorpe was
founded by tin miners. People came from many countries to mine tin
from 1872. Stanthorpe literally means 'tin town', as Stannum is
Latin for 'tin' and thorpe is Middle English for
'town'.
The railway
reached Stanthorpe in May, 1881
The building

surrounding region.
There is BBQ
nearby and scenery is lovely at the GZ.
Happy
Hunting.
