South of the CBD, Warwick’s town museum is in a historical village complex around the heritage sandstone Pringle Cottage.

Pringle Cottage is a must see if you are in Warwick. Yesterday, 51 people travelled from Toowoomba for a Mystery Tour/ Luncheon.

To all the volunteers at Pringle Cottage, thank you for making it such an enjoyable morning. Some of our party went through the Cottage, it really is well worth a tour. I have no hesitation in recommending Warwick...
