Leigh As are most of the gardens in Toowoomba. My father's family are from there and I have an Aunt and Uncle who had a Champion Garden, during the Carnival of Flowers, when they were alive.

My husband’s oldest friend has lived there nearly 30 years so he visits Toowoomba usually each year. The photo of the gardens was taken 13 years ago when we were there for my brother’s wedding. He had lived in Toowoomba for many years before moving to the Gold Coast. Leigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leigh It has been a while since I have visited Toowoomba, visited often as my Grandmother and many Aunts and Uncles lived there. I visited the gardens on a visit many years ago also.

vada_9 Posted September 16, 2020 #2208 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Clue 3: Firstly, I am probably wrong calling it a memorial it is more likely a marker. This person was the first to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
