Muntapa Railway Tunnel
Two short walks through eucalypt bushland, leading to both ends of a historic, disused railway tunnel - Queensland's lonest straight railway tunnel. You can enter the tunnel at each end, but cannot walk all the way through as it is fenced off to protect a colony of small native bats.
Interpretive signs give a comprehensive history of the tunnel, and provide details about the resident bat colony.

Table Top Loop
Table Top mountain on the edge of Toowoomba, provides views of the Lockyer Valley and surround. The climb itself can be quite demanding with a lot of large steps over the Camel's Hump and a scramble just before the summit. But the reward at the top, with a circuit all the way around, provides a spectacular vista.
Table Top is an area of high significance to the Traditional Owners, recognised in the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Register and protected under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003. You are respectfully requested to consider your decision to climb this mountain.
