Toowoomba ... the Garden City ABOUT TOOWOOMBA Sitting high on the Great Dividing Range, around 700 metres above sea level, Toowoomba is known as the ‘Garden City’ of Queensland. Its wide, tree-lined streets, parks, gardens and historic buildings give the city a touch of old-world charm. As a result of its safe, friendly environment, clean mountain air, natural beauty and low cost of living, Toowoomba has twice been voted Australia’s best city in which to live. Toowoomba is the hub of the famous Darling Downs region and is known as the Gateway to the West. Noted for its grain crops, cotton, vegetables and timber, the Darling Downs is an important part of Queensland’s agricultural production. The city is a leisurely 90 minutes drive from Queensland’s capital city, Brisbane, and only two hours from the beaches of the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. Student experience The moment I set my feet on the ground in the Garden City, Toowoomba, I was surely given a thrill by the rich abundant image displayed in front of my eyes. This immediately made me have a greater, more consuming interest in this city, people and the whole country. The teachers here are the greatest teachers I’ve ever met; they all take great responsibility for the learning and success of their students. Living with my homestay family has been one of the coolest experiences I have ever had. I think my homestay represents most Australian people in that they are unbelievably polite and eager. Through the experience of studying and living in Australia I have renewed my perspective on life and have become a better person overall. My life in Australia was a priceless journey that will be forever embedded in my memory. These two years have truly been the best time of my life. Steven Gu Yunchao China PLACES OF INTEREST Picnic Point Lookout is an ideal place to appreciate the rugged mountain ranges, valleys and native forests of the Great Dividing Range. Toowoomba has an amazing array of walking trails, from the more challenging hikes through the escarpment parks and mountain ranges to a stroll through wellpaved parks and bikeways. Cyclists are also well catered for, with over 70 kilometres of sealed bikeways passing through city parks and lying adjacent to scenic waterways. The prestigious, historical Empire Theatre regularly plays host to performers from around the world.
