LAUREL PARK, TOOWOOMBA

When we were in Toowoomba we were told that not only does Queens Park have a beautiful flower display but Laurel Park is also worth seeing. So one afternoon we turned on the natsav and found Laurel Park and it was beautiful.


 In this part of the park the garden beds represented the "Commonwealth Games", which Queensland hosted a few months ago. The blue/purple bed was a swimming pool. You can see the starting block. In the next shot you can see the swimmer being chased by a shark.

 Then there were many topiaries, this one is a spider and below is Thomas the Tank Engine with seats in the carriages.





It was just beautiful. There were many more beds than I can show here.
