As Toowoomba grows, so does the Garden City’s art scene. Famous for its outdoor galleries of street art and giant murals, a visit to Toowoomba also means an excursion out to gaze at giant artworks. With over 50 large-scale pieces of urban art done by both local and internationally acclaimed artists, Toowoomba is an art-lover’s paradise. Here are the locations of a few of the most breathtaking showpieces.

49 Neil Street
A stunning piece of art by @adnate, this massive masterpiece depicts a young aboriginal boy with searching eyes. The amount of detail makes the art look incredibly realistic and will leave you astounded, wanting to see more of this artist’s work.

The intersection of Ruthven and Union Street (near Crazy Goat Espresso)
Passing through one of the main streets in Toowoomba, the sheer scale of this mural catches your eye and you can’t help but pull over. The artist, @fintan_magee grew up in Queensland and has an impressive collection of public art and exhibitions all over the world to his name. This piece of art is quirky and dreamlike, picturing a treehouse on a tree growing out of an elephant’s back. Reaching over two storeys, this piece of art is simply majestic.

30 Duggan Street
An artwork by @alexlehours, this wall features gorgeous pops of colour that lift this painting of a giant archangel with massive wings. With a Statue of Liberty-esque feel to it, this mural is a must-see.

Beech Lane (behind 2 Taylor Street)
Painted by @drapl and @treazytreaz, this mural is gigantic, picturing the Amazon. With lots of details, an art-lover can gaze at this wall for hours. The level of detail in the rainbow leopard and young Amazonian child with traditional ornaments will leave you wowed.

1 Snell Street
By @fuzeillear, this wall depicts two birds on a stand above the world. For a dream-like feel, they both have human hands clasped loosely together. The artwork is done in shades of grey, but the features are still crystal clear.

Mark Lane
In a detailed sketch feel, this artwork is unreal, in a fantasy-like world. As gazing at this beautiful artwork, you feel how the artist, Noke made humans and nature connect, incorporating small dots into both under the humans eyes and the birds’ wings.

Club Lane
Walking through Club Lane, the size of this mural catches your eye and you can’t help but slow your stroll. The artist, @mysteriousal made this piece of art to look like pieces of scrap paper put together to make a quirky mural spanning two storeys.
