Darling Heights is an outer southern suburb of
Toowoomba, Queensland. The Local
Government Area for Darling Heights is the
Toowoomba Region.
Darling Heights lies on the southern edge of
the city, on the west ridge. The land falls away
steeply to the west toward Drayton, the slope
being occupied by detached bungalow housing
with an admixture of larger homes, duplexes
and small blocks of units. Most of these
dwellings are less than 10 years old, the area
having previously been mostly horse paddocks,
of which few remain. The homes and
businesses in the western part of Darling
Heights are considered part of Drayton. To the
east, the upper valley of West Creek forms the
suburb of Kearneys Spring, the western part of
which is considered part of Darling Heights by
many people. The southern part of the Darling
Heights is an area of acreage blocks and small
farms. To the north lies the suburb of
Harristown.
