Toowoomba's WW II history is everywhere; but only if you know where to look. So lets look. From air raid shelters and American navy bases through to command and control centres, it's all here. Learn of the small but significant role Toowoomba played in the defence of Eastern Australia and the South Pacific. Explore life in Toowoomba under the threat of invasion and much, much more.
All our tours conclude with a complimentary drink, included in ticket cost! Please come prepared for the outdoors.
