is toowoomba a safe place

Avoid the East, North and West side. After living in the East for 10+ years I can say for a matter of fact the crime is growing like crazy and may overtake the other suburbs as the crime hub.

Check out the Toowoomba Crime Alerts facebook page. There seems to be an increase in car theft, and even carjacking. There are a lot of break and enters. Drug abuse is high, especially ICE. I don't generally go into Toowoomba at night, unless I absolutely have to, and I always have my car doors locked. I lived in Ipswich for a while and felt safer there than Toowoomba.

Dude just don't come to toowoomba really. Quite a high crime rate, one of the highest car jacking hot spots in Queensland and Australia, huge drug problems in the public and even at schools, all schools have high unattendance rates and high suspensions. After being too a few schools in toowoomba there has been many drugs and fights, expulsions and suspensions every week. The public aren't the nicest especially to new people plus the drivers are terrible. According to some car insurgencies we have the most car crashes in Queensland. Not a nice place for the families.
