Ipswich named after the uk version which means "by the water" . A river runs through it to brisbane 40km away. About 150 yrs ago early settlers saw limestone on the river banks so 'limestone' was the original name. It then became a coal mining place later on. There is a power station operating but in part of it that is no longer used they host opera.
The streets are incredibly wide. Its hilly. Very green, there seem to be parks, sports grounds and open spaces everywhere. Older houses known as Queenslanders are on stilts to allow you to store lots of junk underneath them...... ahem.... I mean ....allows a breeze to flow underneath them to keep cool
