Toowoomba Trails: Stories & Secret Places of WW2

During World War 2 Toowoomba played a small, but significant role as a centre, for training, rest and recreation, logistics, medical services and much more. What is the association between Toowoomba and submarines? Why was the defence of the East Coast of Australia planned from Toowoomba and not Brisbane? Were were the 18 Air Raid shelters built?
