Anyone been to Toowoomba, Qld?

I am spending a few days there for a Road Conference and was wondering if there is anything worth seeing?

Just a nice place at the top of the range DF. Drive around the older part there some lovely old Queenslanders. They also have some nice gardens.

Agreed. It's a parks and gardens kind of place. There's a Japanese garden which is small but pretty impressive. And a lookout somewhere (can't remember now).

Maple syrup can be used as a natural lubricant. So I've been told. 

And the taste is a bonus, so I've been told.

It an annual local government national road conference.

I am attending the conference for the first time for professional development purposes.

I understand it's a great way to network and increase your local government's chances of gaining road funding.
