As I have mentioned, Toowoomba is on the edge of the Great Dividing Range escarpment, so you need travel no further than the edge of the city to obtain excellent views. Fortunately the city planners realised this long ago, and established a substantial (and very popular) park there.

Our visit was mid-morning and, in any case, we had to keep moving on the next stage of our trip, so we did not visit the Picnic Point Restaurant. This has been popular for many years and has quite a good reputation. While we were at the park, I was pleased to find a group of classic cars (Fords, for those interested) also making a short visit while in the course of a trip from Brisbane.

Directions: Just south of the road from Brisbane, at the eastern side of the city. It’s signposted.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
