Webb Park - Part 2

Look at this fine fellow. He just sat there as I walked closer and closer to get a good shot. Finally, he condescended to look at me. I grabbed my shot and left :)

How's this for a view? You stand a the top, and the park drops away in front of you. The play area in the foreground is one of the upper areas. Over the edge it drops down to the lower playing field/area.

Lower down, and looking through the trees. This is right on the edge of the range - any further, and you're just about falling off Toowoomba.

I think this was from another area of the park - halfway down?

From the top, the other side of the play area.

And again. Magnificent.

There's a boarding school right across the road from the park. Their boarding accomodations are located and aligned so that the boarders have an even better view out over the valley. Although I don't think you would want to be there if you were frightened of storms!

View from the kitchen window

This is what I see when I wash dishes. Sunset, facing East to Picnic Point.

You have to move to one of the other East-facing windows to see the 150-foot flag pole on Picnic Point. It was erected to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the founding of Queensland as a separate state. One a side note, my uncle recently discovered that our family were are Pre-Separation family - ie, we were here when it was still New South Wales.
