TRAVEL
Toowoomba, with a population of around 170,000, is located in Queensland’s Darling Downs region approximately 130 kilometres, or 90 minutes, from Brisbane. Toowoomba also has a local airport (Wellcamp) with flight options available.
The Eastern Darling Downs region is characterised by grain dominated winter cropping. Grain sorghum is the preferred dryland summer grain crop, as it is hardier and more tolerant of dry weather than maize. Dryland and irrigated cotton is common, and crops such as sunflower, millet, panicum, maize, chickpea, soybean, mungbean and navybean are important components of rotations with wheat and barley.
