The greater Toowoomba Region, in Queensland, is well known for its exciting history, parks, gardens, cultural events, facilities and scenic views. The Toowoomba community has always sought to offer it’s families and visitors first class facilities.

This prosperous university city is set 700 metres above sea level, on the edge of the Great Dividing Range.

There is so much to see and do in this thriving city of more than 90,000 people,which enjoys four distinct seasons and the rich volcanic soil in the region helps maintain the 150 public parks that are scattered across the city. Jacaranda and Camphor laurel trees line many of the city streets. The city's reputation as 'The Garden City' is highlighted during the Australian Carnival of Flowers festival held in September each year. Deciduous trees from around the world line many of the parks, giving a display of autumn colour. This is particularly rare in Australia, as nearly the entire continent is forested with evergreens.

Toowoomba is nationally renowned for its annual Flower Festival, held each year in September. Many of the city's major parks and gardens are especially prepared for the Festival, which also includes a prominent Home Garden Competition, with persons able to visit participating homes and gardens for inspection, and a Parade with flower-themed floats.
