Crows Nest, located in the Toowoomba Region of Queensland, is a charming small town about 160 km northwest of Brisbane and 43 km north of Toowoomba. It sits at an altitude of around 600 meters, giving it a cooler climate than the coastal areas of Queensland. Known for its country charm, Crows Nest offers a peaceful, rural lifestyle with a strong sense of community, and it is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes.
In terms of local amenities, Crows Nest is well-equipped for a town of its size. It has a variety of essential services, including a medical centre, pharmacy, post office, and small supermarkets. The town also has cafes, bakeries, and a few pubs and restaurants, where locals often gather. The Crows Nest Community Centre is a hub for local events, and the town has an active community involved in arts, sports, and social activities. Crows Nest also boasts a rich history, which can be explored at the Crows Nest Historical Village, a popular local attraction that showcases the town’s heritage.
For shopping, the town offers basic retail options, including grocery stores, a hardware shop, and some specialty stores. For more extensive shopping, Toowoomba is just a 30-minute drive away and has major retail chains, shopping centres, and entertainment options like cinemas and larger dining establishments.

Education in Crows Nest is well provided for through local schools. Crows Nest State School caters to both primary and secondary students from Prep to Year 10, offering a close-knit educational environment. For Years 11 and 12, students typically commute to nearby schools in Toowoomba, such as Toowoomba State High School or one of the several private school options available in the city. The small class sizes in Crows Nest schools contribute to a supportive learning atmosphere for students.
Transportation in and around Crows Nest is largely car-dependent, as public transport options are limited. The New England Highway runs through the town, making travel by car convenient for commuting to Toowoomba or exploring the surrounding region. Bus services connect Crows Nest to Toowoomba and other nearby towns, but they are infrequent. The town is within driving distance of Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, making weekend getaways or city trips feasible for residents.
