During World War 2 Toowoomba played a small, but significant role as a centre, for training, rest and recreation, logistics, medical services and much more. What is the association between Toowoomba and submarines? Why was the defence of the East Coast of Australia planned from Toowoomba and not Brisbane? Where were the 18 Air Raid shelters built? Join local guide Paul Herbert on an Exploration of Toowoomba’s fascinating War history – much of it still clearly visible if you know where to look.
This walk concludes with a complimentary drink at a hotel in Russell Street.
