First blogging day, third blog already. It must be blogging love...
So YOU are to be an honorary Poowoombian, sorry Toowoombian (Toowoombite?) for a weekend.
Perhaps the most frequently asked question regarding our wedding (three questions so far, yes we feel special) is 'What is the best way to get to Toowoomba?'
No, there is no airport (well there is, but you probably have to be a rich grazier to be able to afford the mulah to transit via there).
Best bet is to fly to Brisbane and catch a coach or hire a car to get up to Toowoomba. You're looking at just under a 2hr drive to get up the range to the garden city.
Another option is to fly to the Gold Coast airport, which is just over 2 hours drive to Toowoomba.
The two main bus service to/from Toowoomba are http://www.ttcoaches.com.au/ - these guys offer $10 tickets, and if I remember correctly, offer chocolates to make the really exciting trip up the mountain, EVEN more exciting.
If you have an omnibus reputation to protect, then Greyhound is for you: http://www.greyhound.com.au/
Both services depart from Roma Street, in Brisbane city. You can catch a train from the airport straight to Roma St.
If you want the roadtrip of a lifetime, then there are a few different routes you can take. The coast route is at least an hour or two longer, but there is a lot more to look at. Including giant bananas, rams & prawns.
If you are thinking about driving up, and you have a few spare seats, let us know and we'll endeavour to fill any spots. Likewise if you are chasing a seat.
Inland via the Newell (via Dubbo) is probably the quickest, but also loneliest. And then there is the middle route via New England Highway.
So that should satisfy your transportational urges. Happy to field any further enquiries
Cheers!
