Toowoomba

I've been working in Toowoomba this year and was lucky that my October visit coincided with the Carnival of Flowers. The whole family tagged along for the weekend the last time I was up there and I convinced them that 5.30pm on a cold, wet, windy Friday afternoon was perfect flower viewing weather. Not surprisingly there were no crowds to contend with.

 That's a train hedge, or a hedge train whichever takes your fancy.

Glorious home across the road- what a magical view they have for a few months each year. In typical Toowoomba fashion the house next door is a weatherboard 'let's turn our house into four units' house complete with mattresses in the front yard.
