Rosenthal Creek, Dalveen

Terrain: Undulating to steep, open eucalypt forest with scattered to complex areas of granite.

Map is located 9km north of Dalveen on the Old Warwick-Stanthorpe Road.
The shortest way from Warwick is past Morgan Park. From the roundabout on Bracker Rd, turn south onto Old Stanthorpe Rd (signposted to Morgan Park). Stay on Old Stanthorpe Rd. Do NOT turn off to Cherrabah. Watch for the signs to the left. If you go under the railway bridge you have gone too far. This is mostly good gravel, and is about 25 mins to the assembly area. At the orienteering sign, turn left through a gate and follow the track beside the railway line to the assesmbly area. There is one steep hill to negotiate with an alternative, left hand route through the forest if you are worried about this. Park as directed.
Alternatively, travel south on the New England Highway (15) for 37km to the Dalveen turn-off (MCosker Drive). Pass Dalveen village and take the first turn to the left into Pine Crescent and then left again into the Old Stanthorpe Road (do not cross the railway line). Proceed for 9km, taking care on the narrow bitumen and at the crests and watch out for kangaroos grazing beside the road. Just after passing under the red and white striped railway bridge, turn right through a gate and follow the track beside the railway line to the assesmbly area. There is one steep hill to negotiate with an alternative, left hand route through the forest if you are worried about this. Park as directed. Allow 45 minutes from Warwick.

From Stanthorpe, proceed 20km north on the New England Highway (15) and turn left where signposted to Dalveen. The road loops back towards Stanthorpe and then left under the highway to Dalveen village. Turn right at Jim Mitchell Park into Pine Crescent and then left into the Old Stanthorpe Road and proceed as above. Allow 30 minutes from Stanthorpe.
