TOOWOOMBA GOLDEN WEST & SOUTH BURNETT

Natural Encounters

Toowoomba and the Golden West is steeped in heritage and natural beauty. The unique Bunya Mountains National Park protects the largest remaining Bunya Pine rainforests in the world. The mountains are the only outlying section of the Great Dividing Range, rising abruptly from the rich Darling Downs & South Burnett farmland.

Dalby is a great place to base yourself before exploring the Bunya Mountains National Park and historic Jimbour House, a short drive north-west of Dalby. For the keen fisherman and water sport enthusiast, why not stop off at Jandowae Dam for a spot of fishing, a swim or a tranquil picnic. While south-west of Dalby lies Lake Broadwater Conservation Park, a popular spot for camping, water sports, bushwalking and birdwatching.

And for those after a slightly tamer type of natural encounter, garden lovers will be kept busy exploring the city's internationally themed gardens, such as the USQ Japanese Gardens... Did you know that there are over 240 public parks and gardens on offer in Toowoomba?
