TOOWOOMBA FLOWER

The brainchild of Essex Tait and the Toowoomba Chamber of Commerce, Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers was introduced as a way for the city to use their "Garden City" reputation to promote increased economic activity following the recent hardships of war.

The inaugural event was held on October 21, 1950 with a street procession that stretched three miles in length. Led by a bullock team and watched by a crowd estimated to be 50,000 strong, the Parade was a resounding success.

​ The Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers subsequently became firmly cemented as an annual event in the region's community calendar.

The colour is stunning here when they bloom all at the same time and the smell of so many different flowers, takes your breath away, you should plan to visit here when the show is on.
