Extended Description:
The city of Toowoomba, just 90 minutes from Brisbane, overlooks the coastal lowlands and eases you into a place of flowers, sparkling mountain air, dignified buildings and breathtaking vistas. Toowoomba is Queensland's Garden City, and in spring, when the Carnival of Flowers is held, it's a riot of perfume and colour. If you venture west you will discover rolling plains, little rural townships, and some adorable B&Bs where you can yarn with a local or retreat fireside with a bottle of wine. Cruise north to Crows Nest through the hamlets strung along the eastern escarpment and check out the nurseries, cafes, museums and galleries. In the South you will find country that was the setting for Steele Rudd's stories, and here you can enjoy the atmosphere in the popular historic pubs. The incredible Bunya Mountains can be seen dramatically rising against the sky in the north west.This unique offshoot of the Great Dividing Range has dense rainforest, waterfalls, walking tracks and the largest remaining stand of bunya pines anywhere. Whatever your mood or fancy, there's something here for you.
