A lovely little Japanese Gardens next to the University campus in Toowoomba.

Not sure about the other entrance but we parked in the handful of parking spots available on a residential street, Regent St, and entered in from that gate. I assume there is more parking at the main entrance next to the Uni.

I brought my son when he was 2 months old to visit JG first time and second 2 half months old visited there too. JG only place I...
