Warwick 〔''Macquarie Dictionary, Fourth Edition'' (2005). Melbourne, The Macquarie Library Pty Ltd. ISBN 1-876429-14-3〕 is a town and locality in southeast Queensland, Australia, lying south-west of Brisbane. It is the administrative centre of the Southern Downs Region local government area. The surrounding Darling Downs have fostered a strong agricultural industry for which Warwick, together with the larger city of Toowoomba, serve as convenient service centres. At the 2011 Australian Census, the town recorded a population of 13,376.〔 ==Geography== The Condamine River meanders from the east to the north-west of Warwick. One of its tributaries Rosenthal Creek enters Warwick from the south and enters the Condamine within Warwick.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://data.qld.gov.au/dataset/queensland-globe )〕 The Cunningham Highway and the New England Highway jointly enter Warwick from the north, cross the Condamine River, and then turn west within the town close to the Warwick central business district. The Cunningham Highway then continues west towards Goondiwindi, while the New England Highway heads south towards Stanthorpe.〔 The Condamine River often floods which can disconnect the northern and southern parts of Warwick and close the highways. Gauges that measure river height are used to provide flood alerts to residents. Low-lying land around the river is mostly used for recreation to minimise the damage caused by flooding with most developed areas at higher levels. Queens Park is a major park based around the river and the highway crossing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sdrc.qld.gov.au/ArticleDocuments/631/Warwick%20Flood%20EAG%20Web%20Version.pdf.aspx )〕 The Warwick central business district is laid out on a grid pattern and lies within one or two blocks of the long main street, Palmerin Street with Grafton Street the major cross-street. The statue of former Queensland Premier Thomas Byrnes is located at their intersection.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Warwick, Queensland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
