Toowoomba's Carnival Of Flowers

Day 1

Brisbane - Toowoomba
As you arrive at the top of the Range the beautiful floral displays unfold. Visit Queens Park with its beautiful camphor laurel lined avenue, stunning floral beds and wide-open spaces. Visit Cobb and Co Museum for a guided tour and lunch before continuing on to discover some of the many prize-winning gardens. Late afternoon, check into our motel before venturing to Laurel Bank Park for a Twilight Tour of the garden (weather permitting). Enjoy dinner at a local restaurant prior to returning to our motel.

Day 2

Toowoomba Parade Day
After breakfast we make our way to the priority seating area to watch the Grand Floral Parade. See the spectacular line up of fresh floral floats, street performers, stilt walkers, walking groups and live bands as it winds its way through the city streets to Queens Park. Later we'll stop at Laurel Bank Park, once a private garden owned by Mr Samuel George Stephens, who gifted it to the people of Toowoomba for public use in 1939. Visit some more of the private competition gardens this afternoon before returning to your accommodation to freshen up for dining out tonight.

Day 3

Toowoomba - Brisbane
After breakfast, we travel to The Japanese Garden 'Ju Raku En', which means 'to enjoy peace and longevity in a public place', where over 230 species of Japanese and Australian native trees and plants are waiting to be discovered. Next, we visit the Springs Garden World which has the best selection of indoor and outdoor plants and flowers available on the Darling Downs. Enjoy lunch before returning to Brisbane this afternoon, where your transfers will be arranged.
