Overview

The airport also has the recognition of being Australia’s first privately-funded public airport. Toowoomba Airport is located in Queensland’s Darling Downs region, about 20 kilometres west of the city of Toowoomba. There is much to discover around this rural area of southern Queensland, such as Table Top Mountain, the Darling Downs wine region and the Great Dividing Range.
