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. 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.
