After meeting in the hotel lobby, we’ll enjoy pre-dinner drinks, canapés, and a privately guided tour of the Cobb+Co Museum, home to Australia’s finest collection of 19th-century horse-drawn vehicles, and hear the stories of the craftsmen and women who built them. It’s then on to Gips Restaurant, one of Toowoomba’s most historic dining venues set in the grand former residence of a 19th-century merchant, Clifford House. With its heritage architecture and garden surroundings, it’s a perfect setting for tonight’s welcome dinner. Overnight: Burke and Wills Hotel, Toowoomba (D)
