Ipswich
Ipswich is one of Queensland’s oldest cities. Located about 40 km southwest of Brisbane, you’ll encounter the city’s heritage architecture, multicultural community, growing suburbs, and expanding arts community. With a population of 240,000, but quickly growing, Ipswich is in flux. Known for its historic Queenslanders and family-oriented suburbs, as well as its expanding suburbs, the city's diversity is driving change. Ipswich has a surprising number of outdoor spaces to enjoy. Visit Queens Park’s green lawns, playgrounds, and mini zoo, go walking in the bush at White Rock - Spring Mountain Conservation Estate, or kayak and fish in the Bremer River that runs through town. Culturally rich, Ipswich boasts the Ipswich Art Gallery, one of the largest regional galleries in the country. Its rail heritage is celebrated at The Workshops Rail Museum. The city also holds numerous annual festivals, like Winternationals (Willowbank Raceway), a national drag racing event. Dining out is in vogue in Top of Town, Springfield, and Ripley. Try the Pumpyard Bar and Brewery for hearty meals, or Bakehouse Steakhouse - great for date nights with Ipswich independent escorts. Nightlife is compact but expanding. Key spots include Pumpyard Bar & Brewery for craft beers, burgers, and music, and The Rusty Nail for cocktails and gin.
