As a city that has grown exponentially over the past few years, Toowoomba has adjusted to the vast tourism demand that is now being driven towards what is Queensland's largest inland city. From food to a plethora of events, the things to do in this city grow each year!
Something that makes this part of Queensland truly special is that it is a city that follows its' own pace. It is not extremely hectic and this allows for plenty of opportunities to slow down and enjoy the little things in life.
Taking a day off to enjoy a picnic from Picnic Point is a must when it comes to spending time in Toowoomba. Enjoy the scenic views of the Great Dividing Range while enjoying a glass of bubbly with a loved one!
Knowledge and understanding are typically best gleaned by observing the patterns and truths of the past. The Cobb+Co museum, located in the vicinity of many a Toowoomba hotel such as the Oaks Toowoomba Hotels, provides visitors with an in-depth look into the history of the region. This encompasses the history that comes with horse-drawn carriages as well as silversmithing.
This is a great way to transport yourself into the past with your friends and family!
This location is very often referred to as one of the idyllic locations in the city and it is hard to deny when taking into consideration that it is one of the key pieces of the annual Carnival of Flowers.
When it comes to the care and forethought that has been channelled into managing the thousands of plants and flowers in the garden, it is truly a spectacular sight to behold. The bright blossoms of the rows of flowers and the floral scents wafting through the air make it an extremely popular destination for visitors and locals alike.
There is no doubt that your visit to Toowoomba is going to be filled with a lot of walking, engaging with locals and understanding the lay of the land. However, one of the best ways to appreciate the beauty of the location you are in is to head over to the Preston Peak Wines.
You will be able to marvel at the surrounding landscapes from an elevation of 860m while sipping on a cool glass of shiraz or serisier, making for a truly special occasion.
Every city in the world uniquely presents its culture, whether it is through dance, music or architecture. One of the more modern ways in which the artists of Toowoomba have chosen to tell their story is by using the city itself as their canvas.
Walking through the Street Art Trail will reveal dozens of brilliantly designed artworks pop into life as they speak on the history of the city as well as showcase the vast local talent that is present!
