10. Stargazing at Spicers Hidden Vale

Must Do Things in Ipswich

Take the time to visit Spicers Hidden Vale. While most people visit for the stunning scenery, hatted restaurant and lux accommodation, there’s another reason to visit: stargazing. At night you’ll see a fantastic display of stars as there is little to no light pollution from major cities to block your view.

There’s a multitude of mountain biking (MTB) tracks you can ride at Hidden Vale Adventure

9. Meet friends of the furry kind

Park, but the one we love is 500 Above. It’s the longest continuous descent in South East Queensland and its name alludes to its height – 500m above sea level. It takes 15 minutes to ride down, but much longer to climb (you can book a shuttle to the top though). Not for the faint of heart or inexperienced.

Head to Ipswich’s favourite attraction, the Ipswich Nature Centre, the only free zoo in South East Queensland, visit Queensland’s largest herd of llamas at The Llama Farm or pat and feed the farm animals at EWE Nique Hobby Farm.
