- Bad places exist. Good places exist. And heavenly places? Boy, you better believe they exist. They might be hard to find, but I went and bloody found one! Why shouldn't YOU go to Stanthorpe? Because it's mine. Go bother people somewhere else.

The official narrative is lies…..worldwide 😢
Lived here my whole life apart from a stint in Brisbane, glad to see this channel is keeping people from making the same mistakes that I've made!
I'm also the town's village idiot/lunatic so it was a sigh of relief to see I didn't make the video.
Fun fact: the fact that Australia was too useless as a collection of states to get together on a single rail gauge is actually what made it super hard for Japan to move any of their gear around if they had made a meaningful ingress in WW2, it actually forced them to redesign their entire invasion strategy.
You are talking out of your ass mate, Japan never made it to Australia let alone any of the state borders, they bombed Darwin but no foot soldiers ever made it here, so you are full of shit
Granite belt makes the best red wine I've ever had.
Nothing compares 🍷
Jeez, ever heard of the Barossa?
Did a recent 3 day trip visiting many wines, the cheese was great but the wine?
Well if a strong pungent and vinegar flavour is what one's after Stanthorpe red wine is right up there 😅 the people are great the pies are great at Ballendean but that wine fwoar.
@@t-dog8528yep. The reds are shite
This channel's humour is like the perfect mix of HuggBees, Honest Government Ads, and Ze Frank
Love your flippant style-a refreshing change ! thanks.
Haha another great place to not go. Appreciate all the work that goes into these mate! That camping montage at the end actually got me keen!
Thanks mate! Camping there is sick - highly recommend
Mate I discovered your channel yesterday and I'm already keen for the next installments. Awesome work, bloody entertaining.
I can’t wait to go back home in July, I miss this place so much. Don’t visit, you won’t want to leave.
Good place for stargazing. Drive to Byron over the ranges is nice. You can also go via Goldie through Mt Lindesay through Bald Knob and Woodenbong, maybe next time.
Funny as always - love ya work legend ! - Thank you.
A few good words of wisdom will never go astray . We thank you
What? No pot? I'm out.
It's a BYO kind of place
There's heaps
Yeah I'm from stanthorpe, there is a shit ton of pot
I saw a brilliant live band called "The Billy Shanes" in Stanthorpe in the 1980s.
All the arse innuendos and then you showing that lily white one to top it all off was sweet as LOL Thanks for the vid.
6:02 brilliant 😂
Great show 🎉🎉
This is awesome. Subbed!
Don’t stop the prose bro ! Keep them coming 👍
I’m keen to move here from Bris. Thanks for the video not much out there about it that actually is helpful. Channels great watched everything 👍
I get up to Stanthorpe a few times a year. I stay with a friend bought 60 acres of mostly pristine forest with a massive granite outcrop overlooking the house, and another in her front yard looking like the head of a sleeping dinosaur, almost as big as the dwelling. I love exploring the forest marvelling at the native ground orchids and other wildflowers.
Yeah forget Stanthorpe, I grew up in Wallangarra and you got it pretty much spot on.
😂
Wallyworld! They have two heads in Wallyworld and neither are any good. Wallyworld is Brisbane's Woodridge or Inala.
Exactly, don't go to Stanthorpe, we don't want you here
You’re welcome.
I’d like to climb that pyramid, is there anyway to tell which side you tea bagged and chocolate starfish stamped on ya way back down , nice dog
Do Tbar next!
If you unabbreviate Tbar for me I'll put it on the list
@@DONG-TOTO Toowoomba, I need a critique of it's brown creek that runs through the middle peppered with shopping trolleys. Question why Tbar has the largest Insane asylum in the southern hemisphere, and perhaps a test of it's native landmark food "Super Rooster". Or the ultimate insult. How it's new airport was almost referred to as "West Brisbane" because no one knows where this Toowoomba place is. I've got a few more little gems.. Like when its Ex Mayor Di Thorley spent millions putting in a sewage system that recycles the water and pipes it back into the water supply, decided to after having built it ask the general public if they'd like to drink their on shit water.. Surprisingly Toowoomba residence said no. Oh if you need religion we've got thirty flavours of Christianity esp in the southern part of the town. There's even that cult down the range the "Magnificent meal movement". When Tbarians want to unwind they go to the best part of Toowoomba, Highfields located outside Toowoomba, primarily to the Chocolate cottage and the Danish flower art shop. There I've done half of it for ya ;)
Toowoomba was actually next on the list. I love Toowoomba, I think it's a beautiful town but I want to get to the bottom of why it gets ragged on so much. Thanks for your ideas, if I use them I'll make sure to give you a shoutout in the next vid ;)
@@DONG-TOTO As someone who's lived there most of my life, it's partly the fact that Toowoomba is always past over for funding of decent infrastructure. Being a liberal party stronghold, there's no incentive for any politician to do anything the voters always vote liberal so the libs don't have to try and labor doesn't bother because it's never going to win.
Things like not having an electric rail link to Brisbane for example or that we went through 3 successive governments trying to get just 1 tunnel down the range as the existing road was inundated with cattled trucks 24/7 and the road was being crushed by them. (Brisbane has how many tunnels now?) Speaking of trucks they use to travel right through the middle of town all the way up Tor / James st which made Toowoomba permanently smell like cow shit. And use to physically shake the little shop my wife worked at every 3 seconds or so. There's only retirement homes and churches here. Everything for young people has been shut down, like the Gaming Arcade, the laser tag, the willow springs waterslide was turned into a plant nursery ffs! Because Toowoombas main function is an agricultural hub for all the Farmers to come into town to do business, when they retired they couldn't manage the land but wanted to be close to family, thus the glut of old people here, Everytime I left Toowoomba I was amazed by how much more young attractive people there were outside Toowoomba.
One good thing it use to have (20 years ago) was an awesome night life, Weekend came and the town had the young folk come in to get drunk and laid there was people groping, fighting and hooning, pissing and laughing, the Tatts, the high court, Shamrock down ruthven st went off!, and when they all closed round 2am you could go over to Rumours and it was your last chance to pickup but you never did and then at 4am you'd throw up and go home.. good times.
@@DONG-TOTO Sorry I've thought of some more stuff you might need:
Did you know Toowoomba has the highest density of millionaires per square km?
Suburb breakdown:
Wilsonton: Middle class bogans
Rockville: Housing commission meth heads (streets named after types of alcohol)
Harlaxton: Housing commission thats been Gentrified
Mt Lofty: upper middle class methheads
Cotswold Hills: Rich people from the 80's that's why the houses look that way
Prince Henry Heights: Properly rich people live up there right near there expensive little private school
East Toowoomba: Rich people that have kids go to the other rich kids school, Grammar
South Toowoomba: Middle class blue collar workers
Harristown: Where the rest of us end up going to school, and learning why being poor sucks
Darling Heights: The location of the shittest university I've ever had the privilege of attending. Moderators who don't speak English, units repeated in one course as fillers to make a bachelor degree
Middle Ridge: Rich god botherers, nice suburb with too many churchy nutters
Centenary Heights: Actually a good spot if you can get in being not rich and the school is pretty good.
Rangeville: The place you go through to picnic point to get to third base with your girlfriend in the car. And then throw shopping trolleys off the edge of the range because why not?
Drayton: The place that almost took the name of the whole city.
Westbrook: It's new sort of, country folk living on the edge of town.
Newtown: Home of the Meth heads favourite shopping centre Clifford Gardens
Toowoomba City: a place the rarely changes because all those ugly buildings are "Heritage Listed" but that doesn't mean "Funded to keep them looking nice"
Glenvale: The place we go through to see the sideshow when it comes to town.
Mt Kynoch: Another place teenagers go to get pregnant
Blue Mountain heights: Rich people who like the country feel but aren't actually country people.
The people there are really friendly and genuine, but they can't drive for shit though, we have some of the worst drivers in Queensland I've been told! Old people constantly do 20Km below the speed limit, don't check their blind spots because their spine has fused their neck in one direction and take what feels like a lifetime just to turn a corner.
And also the sort of place you can sit on your patio or verandah and watch the horizon and not feel it's a waste of time, or that you should be working. It's slow pace is charming but after a couple of years it can be depressing as the views of the locals are racist, myopic, conservative and utterly backward.
Paradise? You had too much wine😂
Stanthorpe, Qld, Impossible!🥔
Did... did you just pronounce it "Jirraween"?!?!?! :D
HahHaha love the 7g weed joke hahaha you weren't in stanthorpe if ya didnt

funny stuff man😮
Didn’t even mention the fact that the whole southern downs, containing Stanthorpe, is managed and lead by Warwick, the crustiest crime capital of south east qld
Should do Ippy next mate
%100
Come back in winter..

And "Stany" (as in stani) not Stano
In the old poor days doctors didn't have rectom thermometer they pocked you with a finger and measure your smile . Those that didn't smile died soon later
Unfortunately??? Christ id rather be a train going through Scotland than a train going through Stanthorpe thats for sure😂
Townsville next?
Stanthorpe is the best town in queensland (in my opinion), though then again its fuckin queensland so its still somewhat shit at times (mostly because of eshays)
Does anyone from stanthorpe know a guy called Dennis? He's in his 40s and has a bad habit of getting hit in the head with lumps of wood and hes also band from every pub in town and I think he works for netpro right now maybe
Do Warwick
In all honesty stanthorpe is dead boring, the pyramid is kinda funny at first but then you realise its just a bunch a shitty rocks in the middle of nowhere.
And for such a small town the coppers love a speed trap just as much as the pigs that camp on the Bruce Highway.
Drive through Stanthorpe, not worth staying more then 6 hours max
lived here all my life and brother in christ you are the rightest about this hole
@@thelads263 i lived there 3 months for work and got 3 speeding fines.. and said fuck this place and left

Quality videos mate, you're like a modern Russel Coight
