This is a place as abundant in luscious green spaces as it is in architectural delights - aside from its 500 hectares of parklands demanding of a picnic, Ipswich can lay claim to being neighbours with the bushwalking haven Spring Mountain Conservation Estate.

Though the city is also well-versed in leisure, boasting a blossoming dining scene. Clustered in a district that locals have dubbed ‘Top of Town’, it’s here that you can satisfy your cravings for a decent feed and a quality coffee ahead of a day’s exploration, or quench your thirst post-wander at one of Ipswich’s ever-growing number of craft breweries.
