Where in the world
Toowoomba, Queensland crowns the edge of the Great Dividing Range 700 metres above sea level. The Toowoomba Region, covering 13,000 square kilometres along the range encompasses 19 beautiful towns and villages. Weather is a frequent topic of conversation in regional Australia, and in Toowoomba discussion often turns to seasonal wonders: crisp, cold winters and the possibility of frost or hot summers and the promise of a swim. But nature’s fair work really excels in autumn and spring when our parks and gardens are bursting with colour.
There’s a lot of information we want to share with you but let’s start with some background: statistics and data to put you in the picture about who we are and where we live.
