Ipswich

Ipswich straddles the Bremer River in south-east Queensland, and its position on this Brisbane River tributary helped establish it as an early inland port and transport centre. The settlement was first known as Limestone, reflecting nearby limestone deposits, before being renamed Ipswich in 1843. Coal mining, railways and manufacturing subsequently left a lasting mark on the city. The former North Ipswich Railway Workshops now house The Workshops Rail Museum, tracing Queensland’s rail story. Beyond the centre, the Bremer Valley leads into the low hills and farming country of the wider region.
