Embrace Ultimate Tranquility
The Japanese Garden at the University of Southern Queensland gives you and your kids an optimum dose of tranquility, along with a chance to feed the resident swans, ducks, geese and fish. As the largest Japanese stroll garden in Australia, the 3 kilometres of paths lead you past a central lake, mountain stream and waterfall, artfully arranged rock formations, and more than 200 species of native Japanese and Australian plants and trees.

Get Artsy
More than 80 murals grace the exterior walls of alleyways and buildings throughout the city, making Toowoomba home to one of the biggest outdoor galleries in the country. Pack a picnic lunch, sketchbook and pencils so you can spend the first half of the afternoon absorbing all the street art, and the second half creating your own artwork over lunch.
