By Car

You can drive to Toowoomba via one of the three highways that run through the city: the A2 Warrego Highway from the east and west, or the A3 New England Highway from the north or south, also the the A39 Gore Highway from the south west.

By Train

Traveltrain (QR) has two Westlander services weekly, the journey from Brisbane takes approximately 3.5 hours and arrives very late in the evening, but as a trade-off the train has excellent views as you ascend/descend the range.

Queens Park and Botanical Gardens

Mention of the word Caribbean brings to mind clear blue waters, wide sandy beaches, coral reefs and palms swaying in tropical breezes. While it is all of these and more, this tropical tourist vision lacks the realism of everyday life for its residents of the region. However, for resident and tourist alike it is difficult to imagine the capital of Trinidad and Tobago, Port-of-Spain, without the Queen's Park Savannah and the adjoining Botanic Gardens.

Cobb and Co Museum

Cobb Co Museum is part of the Queensland Museum and is home to the National Carriage Collection.

As well as Cobb & Co coaches, our collection includes examples of a vast range of vehicles from the horse-drawn era, from farm wagons and delivery carts to the Rolls Royce of Carriages, the landau.

Milne Bay Military Museum

The Milne Bay Military Museum is housed in a 1917 building known as “The Drill Hall. This building was first constructed in the Newtown Park in 1917 as a recruiting depot for the 11th Light Horse. At the end of World War one in 1918, it became the headquarters and training depot for the 26th Battalion, the Darling Downs regiment. The building was re-located in 1926 to the corner of Margaret and Kitchener Streets.
