We went for a drive into the country yesterday. Crows Nest is approximately 45 minutes drive North-West of Toowoomba. Cooyar is over one hours drive along the same road.
The Cooyar Hotel is a fine example of a Queensland country pub.
ANZAC Place at Cooyar is a typical type of war memorial seen in small country towns.
There's not much left of this old shed. It looks like the farmer uses it to store hay bales for the cattle.
While there has been good rain lately, the land is still dry.
Crows Nest is a tidy little town.
The locals are proud of their place and there is a community spirit to preserve the old Queensland country town feel of yesteryear.
The Farmer's Arms, located in Cabarlah, is one of Queensland's oldest pubs. It commenced operating circa 1863. Considering this part of the Darling Downs area was settled in the 1850s, that's not bad going for this pub to be still operating.
Cabarlah is only 15-20minutes drive from Toowoomba.
