Apple orchard at The Summit

The Summit and Applethorpe

Famous as one of the coldest places in Queensland, The Summit is home to the highest railway station in Australia.

For generations, the northern Granite Belt has produced virtually 100% of all apples in Queensland. Today, over 5,000 backpackers from around the world descend on the region every year to help pick the produce and enjoy time on an Australian farm.

  • Buy your own local produce direct from the supplier, or on the side of the road.
  • Law Dogs Australia is located in The Summit and is the only place in Australia where you can see law dogs being trained during one of their regular shows.
  • Get lost at the Granite Belt Maze in The Summit - perfect for all ages!
