Located north of Toowoomba on the New England
Highway, Cooyar is a tranquil country
village. The wide verandahs of Cooyar Hotel are a
friendly spot for a drink and the low-down on what
to see and do around the town. You'll have
to be up early or wait patiently at dusk to spot a
platypus in Cooyar Creek. The best vantage is
from the suspension bridge in Swinging Bridge
Park.
