Toowoomba
Toowoomba (Queensland) was my home for several years when I was young, and I remember it fondly. Do we have any BE members living there?

Re: Toowoomba
It made our short-list when we were deciding where to move to. Though we ended up elsewhere, I have often wondered why more people don't give it a close look. A fairly big small town not all that far from Brisbane would tick a lot of people's boxes.

Re: Toowoomba
It's twenty-odd years since I was last there, visiting family. My grandmother's father emigrated from Herefordshire in the 1870s. (He was a free settler, as it happens, but thanks for asking...). I remember the town fondly; a hotbed of Rugby League in those days, and surely one of the coldest places in Queensland in the winter time.
