About Middle Ridge
Middle Ridge is a residential locality about 5 to 6 km south-southeast of Toowoomba's city centre, originally known as "German Settlement" in the 1860s. Named after the area between East and West Creeks where teamsters camped, the Great Dividing Range passes through the locality from northwest to southeast, with the western side on the Darling Downs plateau at 660 to 670 metres and the eastern side dropping sharply to 420 metres. Notable landmarks include the Toowoomba Golf Course, established in 1926, and Gabbinbar Homestead.
