Takeaway high tea from 95 Mary Street, Toowoomba

Pick up your picnic hamper from Simon and Renee Desmarchelier at 95 Mary Street. It’s a little piece of France in Toowoomba. Then head straight for the spring flowers and the shady, spreading branches of a magnificent tree in Toowoomba’s Queens Park. You’ll find a fabulous playground for the kids and an off-leash dog park, plus plenty of green space to walk off the indulgences of the picnic. It’s the perfect picnic spot year-round. 95 Mary Street is a high-end cafe and caterer that could be your go-to for gourmet picnic hampers, grazing platters and bespoke High Teas filled with bite-sized savoury and sweet treats. You’ll need a bottle of wine so drive up Campbell Street to Cellarbrations on Mackenzie Row to pair your picnic with a delicious local Granite Belt wine. If you prefer lunch with a view, drive a short distance up Campbell Street to Webb Park, where you have an incredible outlook east over the Lockyer Valley and to Gatton.
