Floral Friday is this week, and school holidays start Saturday.
WHAT'S ON
The Carnival of Flowers opens on Friday
Floral Friday launches Toowoomba's 77th Carnival on 18 September, with the Grand Central Floral Parade through town on Saturday the 19th. The competition gardens then stay open right through to 5 October.
GOOD TO KNOW
Queensland school holidays start Saturday
The break runs from 19 September to 5 October, with New South Wales joining from the 28th. This Saturday is the single busiest departure day of the spring calendar.
SPOTLIGHT
A fortnight of gardens, and a way to get there
The Carnival is worth the trip whether you drive up for a day or make a weekend of it. If you are flying in rather than driving, we run a direct Brisbane Airport to Toowoomba transfer.
