Day 25 Monday 5th August, Gardens, Walks and Cobb and Co

Toowoomba is known as the city of gardens and so we did some exploring of the gardens today. We had noticed that there are many lovely parks and gardens all around Toowoomba and our caravan park actually backs onto a magnificent park with a creek, walking track and exercise equipment. Our first stop on the “tourist drive” was the beautiful Toowoomba Japanese Gardens. The gardens were designed in a traditional way and although we were probably not seeing them at their best being Winter, we still thought that they were very impressive. Following this stop we did a short heritage walk around the main town centre admiring the architecture of the early building of Toowoomba. We then visited the Cobb and Co Museum and the display of early coaches and information about the Cobb and Co days was very well presented. We finished the day with a drive to a lookout which gave excellent views of both Toowoomba and the Great Diving Range.
