Jimbour House

by balhannah

Historic homestead, Jimbour House, is located near Dalby.

The inside of this home is not open to the public as it is a private residence, but the gardens [est. 1874] and surrounds are. I didn't mind, as I found it quite pleasing just to wander around the outside.

The driveway in, has Jacarandas on either side, a picture in Spring when they are in full flower.

Surrounding buildings & gardens are a Chapel (1868) Water tower (1870) Jacaranda Avenue (1877) Rose garden, kitchen garden, Bluestone building (1870) Plaques, Cemetery, and the Bulls stalls and stables historic displays.

At the Cellar door, you pay the entrance fee of $5.50 (2008), this covers the living history walk as well, or you can browse around on your own. Afterwards, if liked, there is free wine tasting, and light meals, tea or coffee & cool drinks.

Jimbour House is located via Dalby (85ks from Toowoomba) From Dalby, cross over the railway line, take the road on the right (82) Jandowae road, sign posts will lead you to it.

Queens Park Toowoomba

by balhannah

Queen's Park was formerly a Crown Reserve, and was handed over to the control of the Toowoomba Council in 1865.

Many of the trees planted in Queen's Park were imported from Europe, Asia, and many other parts of the world, and are now quite big, old and well established.

The park is also the venue for many community activities, as there is plenty of lawned, open space. The sweeping expanse of grassed area near the corner of Hume and Margaret Streets, makes an ideal venue for attractions such as music performances.

There is a bikeway winding through the park, play equipment and barbecue facilities, making it an appealing spot for a picnic.

Queen's Park is lovely any time of the year...............
but a visit IN SEPTEMBER,...........
WHEN THE CARNIVAL OF FLOWERS IS ON........
IS A MUST!
