I love exploring the escarpments of Toowoomba, you never know what you’re going to find. We don’t have lush rainforests or magnificent waterfalls, ours is a more rugged and jagged kind of beauty. I was standing on the edge of a precipice I had just discovered on a recent impromptu adventure and as I turned to make the arduous journey back to the top, this intriguing and fascinating rock formation slapped me in the face. My photos don’t do it justice #escarpmentescapes #visittoowoomba #toowoomba #jubileepark #qldcountry #exploretoowoomba #discovertoowoomba
It’s the not so fun bits that make the fun bits all the more gratifying. Come and try for yourself to see what we mean #escarpmentescapes #hellhole #glenlomondpark #toowoomba #toowoombaregion #visittoowoomba #arewehavingfunyet #abseiling #abseiltoowoomba #exploretoowoomba
The world is full of beauty but discovering it can require looking at things from a different perspective. The seemingly ugly or exceptionally ordinary can be spectacularly beautiful if you’re paying attention. Sometimes it takes someone to show it you or to help you find it before you recognise it for yourself. Pain from our past can develop an inner strength within us but it’s often hidden by the ugliness displayed in the behaviours that our thoughts, beliefs and emotions lead us into, behaviours that shield us from experiencing more pain and bury our inner strength and beauty. Discovering this beauty means taking risks. Challenging yourself to do things you never thought you could do, trusting another person with your innermost thoughts and emotions, being vulnerable. Outdoor adventures can help you to discover your hidden beauty. Will you trust us to help you find it?
You’re kitted up, you’ve done your ground training, it’s time to get on rope! The first rope we attach is your belay rope. Your belay rope is controlled by your instructor and acts as your back-up in case your training goes out the window. Next, we attach to you to the static abseiling rope via your figure 8 device. This one’s yours to control. That rope feels heavy, just like your heart as you mentally prepare for what’s ahead. Take some deep breaths, remember what you were taught and focus. You’ve got this!!!

I’m a B+ and my plasma is most useful as a donation. I love donating plasma! Sure it helps saves lives, but the best thing for me is the peace and quiet. An hour and a half of me time. I can listen to my favourite podcast, catch up on some Bible study or scroll my socials. On top of that, I can be indulge in one of my all-time favourite cheat meals, super thick raisin toast and a cappuccino. Have you thought about donating? What are you waiting for?

This beautiful waterfall is the perfect location for an introduction to abseiling.

The terrain can change so quickly. I try to fit in a reckie (reconnaissance) of a site before a booking. Didn’t see this shower coming. Waiting it out in the back of the car, praying for no rain tomorrow 🙏🏻
There’s more satisfying a feeling than safely touching down after an exhilarating abseil…and then you look up!

A good pair of shoes are essential for adventuring. They must be comfortable and well fitting. You’ll be in them for a while, you don’t want them to rub and cause blisters and you don’t want them to slip off. They must have a flexible and grippy sole. You want to feel the ground underfoot so you can tread with confidence and you definitely don’t want them to slip off the rock, especially as you take your first steps over the edge of a cliff. Finally, they need to be stylish, they need to express who you are and to help you feel the part of bold adventurer. I’m not afraid to go against the grain, to cause a stir, to take my own path. That’s why my Vibrams are perfect for me #vibramfivefingers #escarpmentescapes

Have you seen this place? It’s at the northern end of Mackenzie St in Toowoomba. It’s absolutely incredible. Sure there’s a look out, and the view is spectacular but to get up close and personal with these falls requires a nerve-wracking adventure. Are you up for it? #escarpmentescapes #jubileepark #toowoomba #visittoowoomba #toowoombaregion #SeeSouthernDowns
