Whale season's winding down, flower season's about to bloom.
WHAT'S ON
Carnival of Flowers is three weeks out
Toowoomba's Carnival opens on 18 September and runs to 5 October, its 77th year. Three weeks is about the right lead time if you are planning to make a weekend of it.
GOOD TO KNOW
The whale migration turns south
The northbound run is finishing and the southbound leg begins, with calves travelling alongside their mothers and staying closer to shore through September and October.
SPOTLIGHT
Premium private and cruise transfers
Not every trip suits a shared shuttle. Private transfers run direct with no other stops, and cruise transfers drop you at the terminal without the queue at the taxi rank.
