Toowoomba The Dark Side - Guided Tour with Toowoomba Trails

Apr 27, 2025, 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM

Every place has its Dark Side, and Toowoomba is no different, none more so than the unsolved murder of nurses Wendy Evans and Lorraine Wilson, whose skeletal remains were found on the city's outskirts. This tour explores Toowoomba's darkest secrets - the quirky, the sad, the fascinating, and the evil. They all have one thing in common: their impact is still felt today. Not for the faint of heart, this walk explores Toowoomba's 'Dark Secrets'.

Often perceived as a quaint, quite regional city,y Toowoomba has experienced its fair share of Dark that has had far-reaching consequences. Explore the site of our first Gaol and wonder how anyone ever survived. Learn of ghosts, grizzly murders and the brothel that operated across from the Court House. Toowoomba has its secrets, we unveil many of them.

NOTE: This walk starts in Queens Park (Cnr Margaret and Lindsay Streets) and finishes at Russell Street with a cold brew in one of the street's fine hotels
