Toobeah, with its lovely gum trees growing either side of the highway, is just 49 kilometres west of Goondiwindi. This little town is set amid the cotton and grain-growing farmlands and known for its horse sports.
Tiny Toobeah, where various traffic roads meet, is simply described as main street. The Coronation Hotel is hard to miss in Toobeah. Â The pub has a great play area at the back for the kids, a caravan park and accommodation are also available. Away from the pub is fishing and bird watching are the main activities.
The town is well worth a look and is a great place to stop on your journey for a stretch and rest. Chat to the locals, stop in for an old-fashioned counter meal at the Coronation Hotel or pick up supplies at the general store.
