Holiday fun turned to pain for two young visitors to the region over the Easter Long Weekend.
At Boondooma Dam, RACQ CareFlight Rescue airlifted a young holidaymaker this morning following a quad bike accident.
The Brisbane teenager was riding the bike when he apparently lost control and jumped off.
He landed awkwardly, suffering a suspected broken right arm.
The Toowoomba RACQ CareFlight Rescue helicopter took off from Boondooma Dam at 11:00am.
The 13-year-old boy was flown to Toowoomba Hospital in a stable condition.
He was accompanied in the helicopter by his mother.

An 11-year-old boy was also been airlifted by RACQ CareFlight Rescue following a motocross accident at Glen Echo Park, north of Woolooga.
The boy, from the Gold Coast, suffered a suspected head injury after he crashed his off-road motorbike and hit his head.
The Sunshine Coast RACQ CareFlight Rescue helicopter airlifted the boy to Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital in Brisbane.
He travelled in a stable condition and he was also accompanied by his mother.
