With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Toowoomba, 20 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area beginning with Empire Theatre, Grand Central Shopping Centre and City Golf Club. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Highfields, 30 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Michael Park. (But we’re also huge fans of Spring Bluff Railway Station and Highfields Pioneer Village.)
