fish.01 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Toowoomba has this sort of feel for me: Queen's Park (CBD Park - 1875) (Source: Thanks to isoboy on SSC) Toowoomba has lots of lovely tree lines streets like this: And streets full of character homes: Just outside Toowoomba: (Source: tannykid@Flickr) This thread on skyscrapercity should give you a good feel for what Toowoomba looks like and some of the various opinions Australians have of Toowoomba...

Dansi Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hi guys, lol @ the wife. just a bit worrying what she is laughing at eh!!!! Those pictures about sum it up for me. Heres a view from picnic point! From a walk in Lake Annand Park today! And I noticed today that the parks were full of families having bbq's and generally a nice time. Another thing that has been noticeable is how fresh the air is, walking down the street and you get constant wafts of the Jasmine that is growing everywhere. My first day was a little weird as I was being driven around, and we were mainly on the highways, I thought the big trucks were everywhere, but once you get off the highways its all tree lined streets and hardly any traffic... i hope this gives you an idea.

TheGreatDane Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Good work mate! I lived and studied in Brisbane ages ago and went to the Flower Show in Toowoomba. The birds that make the noise in the morning are black crows and the Aussie magpie... it sounds like they're gargling concrete and it will eventually drive you insane/make you do Google research for BB guns and rifles! Kookaburras make a different sound... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
