welcome to little toowoomba

I moved to Toowoomba when I was a first-time-mum to a 6 month old, a stage of parenthood where my world was shrinking and expanding at the same time.

I started noticing the practical details:
Where can I go with a pram and a rowdy toddler without apologising?
Which schools are people choosing for their children - and why?
Is there anywhere I can exercise without needing to organise childcare first?

Toowoomba, thankfully, is one of those places where family life is not an afterthought. Sometimes the abundance of choice can feel overwhelming, and much of the information online is either outdated, overly promotional, or missing the nuance parents actually need.

Welcome to Little Toowoomba - your local guide to family life here in our beautiful city. Everything shared here is from local life with kids in tow. Whether you’re new to town, a long-time resident, or visiting family and friends here, this space is your corner of recommendations, notes, and local love.

I’m so glad you’re here!
