Toowoomba, population 160,00 and Australia's 2nd largest inland city, is 125K west of Brisbane, and the commercial centre of the Darling Downs.

A super rich and fertile volcanic region that will grow anything - and does.

Known for the cooler sub-tropical climate at 700 metres and on the ridge of the Great Dividing Range
the region has it all - schooling from primary to a major University, major teaching hospital, home of the "Lamington", the region has the largest cattle feed lots in Australia, cropping of all grains - wheat, barley, oats, sorghum, and cotton, vegetables, fruit, sheep, cattle, and major horse studs.

For visitors there are a full range of motels, a great variety of dining, fossils, coal and gas, sports of all varieties, horse racing, cathedral, and a wonderful floral festival.
