Depends on the traffic. I used to travel an hour, sometimes more, on the freeway and it was like a carpark in the mornings at 6:30am. It totally sucked. Dh used to work on the other side of the city and would leave at 7am and get home anywhere from 7pm to 10pm depending on when the last job finished. He had a work ute, but it still didn't make up for the terrible outbound traffic on the way home.
Instead of Toowoomba, what about Oakey? Small township about 40km inland from Toowoomba. A lot of people commute there from Toowoomba for the Army Base (including my DH a few years ago). You also miss the worst part of the Warrego Highway where a lot of the incidents occur.
Basing yourself there, you would cut done commuting time for your DH and still live in a relatively small town. Yes, the Army Base is there but I don't think it is too noisy as most of the big planes (like the C17 and the transporter) are based at Amberley.
