Toowomba gardens

We went on a trip to Toowomba to the Japanese gardens.
The lake was very peaceful but the lack of streams and waterfalls explains this.






We had the place mainly to ourselves.




Lots of ducks and birds around.









They were installing new pumps so no water here.
Bare trees and no water most of Australia looks like this at the moment.



These two keep turning up .

very peaceful morning wondering around the gardens.

    You are sadly right about the bare trees and no water.
    Loved wandering the gardens with you. And that photogenic couple.

    It is on a plateau I think and quite cold in winter, as I can see by the clothing being worn. I was there in the 1970s and we were given a car tour of all the home gardens who were in the local flower show. I remember it as being a very attractive city. The views down to the plain below were spectacular. I guess you have seen the view. Where are the photos?
