Geography
Redwood is located 5 kilometres (3 mi) east of the Toowoomba city centre. Half of the suburb's area consists of the 2,243-hectare (5,540-acre) bushland Redwood Park,[3] after which the suburb was named in 1981;[2] the rest, to the south of the highway, is mostly crown land. The residents of Redwood live along the suburb's western boundary with East Toowoomba along the ridge line of the Great Dividing Range at approximately 650 metres (2,130 ft) above sea level, while the rest of locality descends to the east to approximately 360 metres (1,180 ft) at the locality's eastern boundary with Withcott.[4][5]
The Warrego Highway which connects Ipswich to Toowoomba and towns west of Toowoomba passes through Redwood using the Old Tollbar Road and the Toowoomba Connection Road. This was the major road access over the Great Dividing Range to/from Toowoomba until September 2019 when the Toowoomba Bypass Road (informally known as the Toowoomba Second Range Crossing) opened to the north-east of Toowoomba.[5]
