Carnival of Flowers 2026 Walking Tour・Queens Park, Toowoomba

It's spring again, an I'm back for the 2026 Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba, the Garden City. Queen's Park is a huge park full of not only the flower beds in the Botanic Gardens, but also giant green lawns, stately trees, playgrounds, and an off-leash area for dogs. It's seriously huge (about 25 hectares). The Carnival of Flowers is Queensland's longest running floral event. The City of Toowoomba goes flower mad during September/October. Private gardens are even part of the event, with local residents inviting people to come and check out their own home gardens. Toowoomba is only a short drive away from Brisbane, and can easily be done for a morning or afternoon outing. It's a really pretty regional city, full of wide, tree-lined streets. It's known as the Garden City (not to be confused with Brisbane's Westfield shopping centre!). It's worth a day trip, even during other seasons, as it's such a beautiful city at any time of the year. The drive from the Brisbane city centre to Toowoomba is just over 1.5 hours, depending on traffic. I hope you enjoy this Toowoomba walking tour. This is a series in my Day Trips from Brisbane, where you can find places to drive (or take public transport) to see something outside of Brisbane city. All the Brisbane day trips are places that are easily accessible from the CBD and surrounding suburbs. This walk began at 11:020 a.m. on Saturday 19th September 2026, and the temperature was 25 °C (77 °F). Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Thanks for watching! Please like and subscribe!
