Hikes near Toowoomba
Toowoomba sits on the edge of the Great Dividing Range, which means the walking starts at the end of the street rather than at the end of a drive. Redwood Park and Mount Peel put short escarpment trails within a few minutes of town, and the range opens out from there into Main Range National Park, Ravensbourne's rainforest remnants and the D'Aguilar tracks beyond. It skews gentle and short — eighteen of the twenty-seven tracks here are family-friendly, and eleven finish on a summit or a lookout, which is an unusual combination. Sorted by distance from town, with full elevation profiles.
