G'day Jared,
There are heaps of interesting off-road juants around toowoomba. Just don't know what to suggest. Its the sort of area where the best tracks are found by turning right here, left there ... If you are coming from the South side of Brisbane, it might be worth considering driving via Cunningham's Gap. There are some interesting stop offs thru there. And just near where the Cunningham highway hits the Warwick - Toowoomba road, you can head into Goomburra State Forrest. There are really nice walks and drives in that whole area. You can turn left to the Day Picnic area (tables and toilets, byown wood fired BBQs) - and then if you like you can cross the creek and head to the top of the mount for some walks to lookouts etc. There is also a 4wd park near the entrance - if that is your sort of thing.

Other than that, maybe you could Google Map the area and just try a few spots. If you ever have a few days, the Toowoomba area has a lot to offer. Its just a matter of having the time to do a bit of exploring. ... One day you might like to check out the Ravensbourne area north of T.

My wife comes from out round Chinchilla. I asked her about interesting spots to visit there; she responded, "nothing". I'm sure there is, we just never found it; maybe its changed a bit in 30 years.

Regards
Bear
