Toowoomba (nicknamed 'The Garden City') is a city in the Darling Downs region in the Australian state of Queensland. It is located 125 km (78 mi) west of Queensland's capital city Brisbane by road.[4] The estimated urban population of Toowoomba as of June 2015 was 114,622.[1] A university and cathedral city, it hosts the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers each September and national championship events for the sports of mountain biking and motocross. There are more than 150 public parks and gardens in Toowoomba.[5] It has developed into a regional centre for business and government services. It is also referred to as the capital of the Darling Downs.[5]
It is the 16th-largest city in Australia and the sixth-largest in Queensland after Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Townsville and Cairns. Toowoomba is the most populous inland city in the country after the national capital of Canberra.[6]
Last year, emergency measures have been taken as a heat wave was 330 million people affected by the drought. Schools and hospitals were closed and then had to move hundreds of families from villages to towns where there was water available.
The aftermath of cyclone Debbie cause major problems in eastern Australia. Although the hurricane has now weakened to a storm, floods caused by the heavy rain in many places. Rescuers can reach difficult areas in the states of Queensland and New South Wales.
Near Mackay city came two days 1,000 millimeters rain down, while it usually falls in a year in 1500 to 2500 millimeters, say Australian meteorologists. In the Netherlands, an annual average of 800 mm.
The bad weather are households without electricity and roads are inaccessible. In the flood areas in Queensland are certainly all schools closed until the weekend, because the floods pose a threat to teachers, pupils and their parents for example.
Rainfall is also for the rescuers now the main problem, says correspondent Robert Portier. Some flooding areas are inaccessible, making it impossible to wipe or recover the power and telephone lines clean streets. Partly because we also have a good idea of the damage wrought by the hurricane. Even though we have seen enough pictures of ships smacked on shore and roofs blown off.

Waterfalls & Waterholes in Queensland, Australia
Waterfalls and Waterholes in Queensland. Majestic waterfalls dropping into beautiful lagoons and raging rivers that have some awesome power. These are scattered throughout North Queensland and are well worth the trek for a look. Cool down away from the surf and sand in one of the many swimming holes of the Gold Coast, including Currumbin rock pools, Cedar Creek rock pools and the man-made rockpools at Broadwater Parklands. The tiny township of Finch Hatton presents you with a rare chance to get up close and personal with an Aussie icon when you go scuba diving with platypuses. Freshen up on Fraser Island with its champagne pools, fresh springs and over 100 freshwater lakes. Take refuge from the outback sun with a splash in the boulder creeks in Girraween National Park. #toowoomba #dalby #tara #surat #st George #goondiwindi #trains #railways #tracks #rail tunnels #rail bridges #running water #waterfalls #atherton #carnarvon #babinda #cairns #beaver rock #fishing around beaver rock #fishing mary river #mary river fishing #west qld #west queensland #travelling #queens park #maryborough #heritage markets #scarness #piabla #urangan#tin can bay #cooloola #gympie #fraser island #dolphins in tin can bay #mary river #maryborough #australia #johnekert #john ekert #john ekert channel #queensland #travel #documentary# sights #explore #wide bay #hervey bay #fraser Island #goomboorian #organic #beans #organic farm #dairy farm #fresh vegetables #cooking #vlog #blog #qld #maaroom #fraser island fishing #fraser island drivi
