Green dinosaur at Ballandean Railway Station
If you are coming from the north (Stanthorpe):
You will see a concrete railway bridge over the highway about
17km south of Stanthorpe. Drive another 3km and you will see
a sign for 80km speed limit. Soon after,  you will see a Vineyard
Cottages & Cafe sign (1). Take the exit lane (right lane) and you
will find the entrance to our driveway on your right. The
Guesthouse is 200 metres north from the entrance.
If you see a green dinosaur (4) on your left, you have missed
the entrance!   
(If you are to arrive after dark or a heavy truck is right behind
you, it may be easier to turn into Bents Road first and then
make a U-turn to return to the entrance.)

If you are coming from the south (Tenterfield):
Soon after you have entered Ballandean, you will see a post
office (6) on your left and a green dinosaur (4) and a railway
station (5) on your right. There is a general store and then
Ballandean State School (3). Our entrance is only 200 metres
from there on your left.
