Toowoomba has a reputation for being Queensland’s ‘Garden City’, so a few smart noggins thought that segued nicely into a celebration of such. Fair to say the idea was a good one, given the region is now best known around Australia for its annual Carnival of Flowers. 

That being said, Toowoomba is much more than just a floral affair. The state’s largest inland city boasts one of Australia’s most vibrant urban art scenes, plenty of picturesque nature trails, and a mix of stylish cafés and charming pubs where you can recharge. Here are all the reasons you should visit Toowoomba.
