THE truck that backed into and killed Simon James Poxon did not need be reversed, a workplace health and safety investigator has told a court. Mr Poxon was killed on February 26, 2013, at the Sherrin Rentals yard in Torrington, Toowoomba, when a truck reversed into the cherry picker he was refuelling - crushing him.

TODDLER Rydar Hinz suffers from a genetic disorder called Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) and will be on medication for the rest of his life.

Rydar's father Mike Hinz said preparations were well under way for the first annual Fossil Downs Bush Barrel Races in Murphy's Creek, with all of the proceeds going to children's health at Toowoomba Hospital.

FULL marks to Toowoomba woman Rebecca Ruse. She was the subject of a mindless taunt while she was out exercising. Two idiots decided to yell abuse at her, taking aim at her weight. While driving away in an orange Holden Commodore they yelled out "run fatty, run" to Ms Ruse. Ms Ruse is the first to admit she is overweight. But she is doing something about it. And congratulations to her. There are many in Toowoomba, including me, who should be following her example. It w..>> view originalOld Faithful answer the call to help Cods

That’s the situation that Cods B-Grade coach Scott Attwooll faced on Saturday, as he put the call out to the Cods’ Old Faithful to come back and lend a hand. And lend a hand they did, thumping the University of Southern Queensland boys 38-5 with a rag-tag team of B-Grade, C-Grade and former Cods players in their opening game..>> view original2013 Holden Commodore SV6 Z-series Review
We bought this VE Sportswagon near the end of the VE run, it was discounted and we traded a VS wagon on it. At first it felt big and clumsy after the VS but that all changed on a quick trip to Toowoomba one weekend. It is great on the highways, smooth, quick and handles like it is on rails. It’s now done 40,000 klms and is performing very well indeed. It’s got 19 inch rims that the Z Series came with and the tires are quite expensive but beautiful to drive on. We got the dark tint from the dea..>> view originalView From the Paddock
