Flyways
Flyways is a brilliant Australian made documentary about migratory birds. We hosted a sold out screening in Toowoomba at the Strand Cinema on the 30th of May.
Hartmann Park in Crows Nest has the reputation as one of, if not the most beautiful parks in the Toowoomba region. On a cool May morning the BSQDD group walked from Bullocky Rest, along the creek, and then into Hartmann Park.
