Step back in time to the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers in the 1950s.

This rare footage from the Bolton Collection captures floral floats, marching bands, and a city in full bloom—celebrating a tradition that still thrives today. Look closely and you'll see Cobb & Co. Coach No. 100 rolling down the streets of Toowoomba dressed in stunning blooms.

Today, Coach 100 is on display in the National Carriage Collection at Queensland Museum Cobb+Co, Toowoomba—one of more than 50 horse-drawn vehicles that bring the history of Australian transport to life.
