Far enough from Brisbane to have evolved it's own "culture", Toowoomba is an odd place within an already strange state. ,. Nationwide, It is often easy to tell if someone is from "Woombie" due to the uniqness this town imparts into its residents!!
The perfect, nice gardens of the 'Carnival of Flowers' entrants contrasts ironically with the groups of disillusioned teenagers hanging about on skateboards and bmx bikes, wisxhing that there was something to do... anything to break up the boredom and (in summer) perhaps even escape the heat.
I've never actually lived there but feel like I have, having heard so many stories about the place from friends that spent their formative years in Toowoomba.
They were the smart ones... they got out as soon as they were old enough! None of them came from the houses with the nice, competition ready, gardens though!
