#27 Must DO - Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers.

Last week, I took a trip out to the city of Toowoomba, during its Spring Carnival of Flowers. The Carnival of Flowers runs annually, during September. This year running from Friday 18th September to Sunday 27th September. This year being its Diamond anniversary, that’s right commemorating 60 years of gorgeous flowers gracing the grounds of the city. The Carnival comes alive over the 10 days through numerous events from mayoral Breakfast, Longest Lunch, Concerts, Twilight Garden Tours, Parkland Entertainment, to perhaps the most well-known a swinging bright and beautiful floral parade through Toowoomba's CBD.

Through the hard work of gardeners and residents of the area, and council garden crews, the floral gardens, throughout the city, were in top shape for a beautiful Carnival of Flowers. The Weather of course gave a helping hand, with beautiful conditions, to celebrate the diamond anniversary. Upon driving into the town, over the range you are immediately filled with the gorgeous scent of flowers in full bloom. I spent the day visiting Queens Park, one of the prime focus point of the festival, with beautiful manicured gardens, with tiered displays of colour, shape and contrast. Secondly i visited Picnic point, a popular tourist spot for the town, once again, full of gorgeous colour, and relaxing gentle music. Really quite romantic actually.

Also I visited another popular public garden in the area, The Japanese gardens, a real unique and beautiful garden display.
