EcoRidge Hideaway, Toowoomba review: Weekend away
Let’s face it, there’s not a lot to do here, but therein lies the attraction – an immaculately-kept 3km walking track, stunning sunrise, the occasional wallaby, cold fridge and a stool for tired feet. It’s a pleasant change.

Toowoomba
<b>Toowoomba (including Drayton and Highfields)</b> <br> <b>Gracious and historic city to the west of Brisbane.</b> <br> There can surely be no city in Australia more dramatically located than Toowoomba. If you enter it from the south or west you get the impression that it is a rather large and pleasant city on some rather gently undulating country. If you enter it from the east it is clear that the city dangles on the edge of a plateau some 600-800 m above sea level. The Warrego Highway from Brisbane rises steeply up the escarpment and the city spreads from the edge of the escarpment to the west and south.
