Car Rental Ipswich - Cheap Discount Car Hire - Special Deals and Offers.
Once a
commercial and political rival to Brisbane, Ipswich remains a
vigorously-independent provincial city, 40km south of the capital.
The city developed from a convict settlement established on the
Bremer River in 1827 to work the rich deposits of limestone in the
surrounding hills.
The
early settlement, coupled with the economic and strategic importance
of the town, has left Ipswich with a stock of magnificent examples
of colonial government buildings, churches, manor houses and
Queenslander homes. A standout is the Court House. Built in
neo-classical, faintly Mediterranean style in 1859, it remains one
of the few surviving buildings constructed by the NSW Government
before the creation of a separate Queensland colony.
The
city and surrounds are networked with a chain of parks and bushland
reserves well endowed with recreational and leisure facilities which
offer tranquil bushwalks and picnicking sanctuaries.
