Where are we?
Crows Nest is located 44 km north-east of Toowoomba.
It is an easy commute to Toowoomba to access all the services of a major centre. Although located in the region defined as the Darling Downs, Crows Nest is situated 543 metres above sea level, atop the Great Dividing Range and as a result is set amongst rolling hills. Close by are four National Parks and three lakes. The vegetation ranges from open woodlands to forests including some rainforest areas. The district is known for its beautiful tall eucalypts with diverse wildlife including birdlife and rock wallabies.
