>> An Introduction To Ipswich
A city in its own right, Ipswich has plenty to offer from art, culture and history, to the great outdoors, wineries and country touring. Ipswich has a rich 150 year history, and is renowned for it’s natural, cultural and architectural heritage.
The town of Ipswich, as with many others in colonial Queensland, was shaped by the installation of the rail system, as you will learn at the fascinating Workshops Rail Museum. The Rosewood Rail Museum offers rides along a spectacular section of preserved railway in steam, diesel and motorised locomotives.
Get your heart pounding by racing karts, dragsters, superbikes and the big V8’s, at the Ipswich Motorsport Precinct. The precinct is home to the Willowbank Raceway, host to spectacular events such as the Nostalgia Drags, Sports Bikes and the annual Winternationals. The Queensland Raceway, hosts the biggest two and four wheel race events in Queensland and is also part of the Motorsport Precinct.
Hire a car and tour the region's wineries. The rich volcanic soils of the Scenic Rim are gaining a reputation for producing quality harvests and award winning wines. Start the day early and enjoy a hot air balloon flight at dawn, floating over the Ipswich city and surrounding countryside, and culminating with a luxurious champagne breakfast.
The Ipswich Art Gallery is home to world class interactive displays, multi media and visual art and history exhibitions. Let the children create their own work of art at the purpose built gallery, Lotties Place.
Ipswich boasts a world class, 18 hole championship golf course, that regularly hosts the Queensland Open Golf Championships. Situated in the Brookwater Residential precinct, Australia’s Number 2 Public Access course was designed by Greg Norman to be a challenging course for beginners and professionals alike.
