Toowoomba Christmas Wonderland 2024
Date: December 14th 2024
Venue: Queens Park Botanical Gardens, Toowoomba
Time: 7:00pm – 9:00pm
Mission: To put smiles on faces and bring the Redback awesome!
Trooper attendance: CB:33827 Bolt, TK:29566 Oxy, TI:20552 Mykill, TB:22008 Sharpshooter, IG:28301 Thumb
Wranglers: MW:22810 Snips, TK:90579 Scotty33
Details:
0600: Everyone arrived either early or on time! The weather was very foggy and it had rained earlier, so this may have kept the crowds away for the night.
0630: Everyone was super keen (or just cold) so we were all suited up early tonight. We entered the park and signed in. This time we were recommended to stand in a roped off area which was well lit.
0700: Gates opened and we had a slow stream of people line up for pictures.
0745: The crowd slowed for a while, we patrolled and listened to the jingle bells on Mykills boots.
0830: Things got a little slow and we called it for the night.
0900: The annual MacDonalds meet up happened and we split. A great effort from everyone on a not so great weather night.
Mykill “I’m not Vader” count: 5? Or more.. also he is now known as the big tall scary one.

Trooper attendance: CT:33827 Bolt, TK:29566 Oxy, TI:20552 Mykill, RM:28301 Thumb, BH:57730 BobaCanuck
Wranglers: MW:22810 Snips, TK:90579 Scotty33
Details:
0600: Everyone arrived on time, great work troopers! The weather was perfect and plenty of people were lined up to attend the Wonderland this night.
0645: Suited up, we all proceeded to the Wonderland and signed in for the night.
0700: Gates opened and things got busy very fast! We had a solid line of people for a good hour.
0747: MyKill stated it was “airplane O’clock” and the crowds had not slowed!
0830: I had to have a drink of water, if I’m honest I was not feeling well this night.
0900: We wrapped things up, the crowds really had no slowed until now!
Mykill “I’m not Vader” count: 15? Correct me if I’m wrong.
Also, the Christmas miracle of the night was that Mykill, somehow, found his balaclava that he left on the roof of his car last week. He spotted it, with his helmet on, on the road of the carpark. By some miracle, it had not blown away, had not been run over, had not washed away in the storms.. no, it was still there!
Over-all I am so happy with how this year went, thank you all for attending the 10th year anniversary of the Toowoomba Christmas Wonderland. I hope you all enjoyed the event and the merchandise!
