So, you’ve just moved to Toowoomba! Welcome! Everything is fine!
Here’s a few tips to help get you started in your new home.
There are three Super Rooster locations, at South Toowoomba, Wilsonton and North Toowoomba. Make your way to your nearest and try the chips immediately.
You’ll also need to get yourself some fluffy slippers to keep your toes warm when winter finally arrives.
And, please acquaint yourself with the rules of using roundabouts (someone has to).
Enough trying to be funny. Moving to a new place can be tough. You’ve not only gone and left friends and families, but all the other familiar things that make up your day-to-day life too – like doctors, dentists and other healthcare providers.
Choosing healthcare is a personal decision and you have to go with who makes you comfortable. However, it always helps to have a personal recommendation from a local. Here are Toowoomba Living readers’ tips for healthcare professionals.
