We were driving back from Toowoomba, after visiting our daughter in the Toowoomba Hospital, when Val insisted on taking me to see Lake Broadwater. He waxed lyrical about how beautiful this lake is and how it is a conservation refuge area for water birds and other wildlife such as kangaroos. Lake Broadwater is one of the few remaining areas where you can see the vegetation that was common to the Darling Downs before the area was settled.
