Our 999th Day Anniversary Celebration Part 1

Toowoomba Day Trip
We headed east of Dalby to Toowoomba (the biggest inland city in Queensland) for a mini- road trip. (An impromptu decision made like 6 hours before the trip, I hardly have time to plan where to go).
Toowoomba has a title of Queensland’s Garden City. There’s lots of parks here and even has a Japanese Garden (Oz’ biggest). There are the modern bigger malls (for shopping of course) that I like and the old country charm like the local wineries and produce that I can enjoy too.
First stop, we went to State Rose Garden. I felt the tourist spot was a bit overrated based on the tourist guide I was reading. I think it’s because there are not much roses for this season of the year.
Then, to the Visitor Information Centre. I enjoy collecting the brochures to make my travel scrapbook next time, Gavin thinks it’s bulky but it’s usually these brochures that saved the day cos they always have more detailed maps. So, while I’m ‘shopping’ for my brochures, he will merely sit in a nearby bench and stare into space. Lol
