Stately.

Ipswich is a city 24 miles or 39 kilometres west of Brisbane and part of the greater Brisbane area. It is one of the oldest towns in Queensland, very flood prone and was the starting point of Queensland's first railway in 1865 which actually went west and not east towards Brisbane. It became a railway hub and also an important coal mining town, building its roots in blue collar industries.

 

It is full of heritage homes, some majestic, some typical "Queenslanders" and many beautifully restored. This one is just westward of the central business district.
