Dalveen, Queensland

Conkera Bed & Breakfast,The Summit Dalveen, more-or-less midway between Warwick and Stanthorpe in Queensland's South East, is at the end of what is known as 'The Fruit Run', a string of fruit stalls, orchards and tiny settlements.

It's an interesting little place this Dalveen, even with its own graphic arts 'factory'. Along the highway keep an eye out for 'Pot Luck'. It's one of the few farms (other than those selling produce to highway travellers) which welcomes visitors during the shearing season. It's run by Jim and Del Mitchell. The sign at the gate will indicate whether there's anything of interest happening on the other side of the fence. At Jim Mitchell Park, which is just off the highway, there's a picnic area.
