And it’s not short on a Devonshire tea, either. If you’re looking to fill your trip with culture, food, history and heritage, follow this guide to the best things to do in Toowoomba.

This stunning mountain city (yes, Toowoomba is Australia’s second largest inland city!) is designed for the good life, with boutique wineries, scenic views, antiques and a thriving food culture. It’s a unique slice of Queensland where the great outdoors are as close at hand as a great coffee.
