Brisbane to Toowoomba
Driving Time: 2hrs
Distance: 127km
Your campervan journey west takes you past the Lockyer National Park, home to sandstone gorges, unspoilt eucalypt forests and rare flora and fauna like the brush-tailed rock wallaby.
Then it’s on to Toowoomba, the surprisingly hip capital of the Darling Downs region. Discover the city’s enthralling history, browse a fine collection of Australian art at the gallery, and enjoy an array of excellent cafes, bars and restaurants. There are a number of campgrounds on the outskirts of Toowoomba, or you could spend the night at nearby Murphy’s Creek or the Jondaryan Woolshed.
