about
Welcome to The Field Guide, and everything Toowoomba has to offer.
Through a directory of businesses, insight from locals and event guides, The Field Guide is the authority on the culture of Toowoomba. We’re here to introduce you to the goings on around town and the incredible people who live here.
Our aim is not just to cover a restaurant opening, but to give you some insight into why and how it came about. We’re not here to copy and paste media releases or exchange good coverage for freebies. There’s no exact formula; we write about what we like.
By launching a platform that celebrates and showcases the incredible businesses and events Toowoomba has to offer, we will be building our city up with the sorts of shops, cafés and events we want to see. We truly believe that we can all play a part in creating the city we want to live in.
The Field Guide helps you find something to do, buy, eat or drink – but it also does more. It tells the city what you want to see more of, and where you're willing to vote with your dollar.
We're so glad you're here to be part of it all.
