Toowoomba｜12h Garden City City Walk Slow Life Enjoyment

Toowoomba is the "Garden City" of Queensland, 1.5 hours drive from Brisbane! Known as the Flower City of the Southern Hemisphere, September is the flower season here. It is suitable for a one-day city walking tour with family and friends to experience the time and space call of the 19th century railway hub transformed into the main venue of the International Horticultural Exposition. Edwardian architecture and Japanese gardens collide wonderfully here.

✔️ There are very few trash cans, so bring trash bags with you
