We're also waiting for the much-anticipated return of Great Houses of Ipswich , where three privately owned historic homes are opened to the public. Usually held over a weekend twice yearly, these National Trust events were postponed over the past couple of years due to the pandemic. Stay up to date with this year’s program on the Great Houses of Ipswich Facebook page.

There are many impressive old churches to see, including St Mary’s Catholic Church at 11 Mary Street; the former St Stephen's Presbyterian Church at 22–26 Limestone Street and St Paul’s Anglican Church ; at 124 Brisbane Street, the oldest Anglican Church in Queensland, built in 1859. Take a road trip out to Rosewood and cast your eyes upon the grand wooden St Brigid’s Church at 28 Matthew Street which dates back to 1909. A visit to Cooneana Heritage Centre will further immerse you in the region’s history. The centre welcomes group bookings by appointment or check the Ipswich Historical Society Facebook page for open times and special events.

Give yourself enough time to visit all the places mentioned and

stay at either Cumquat House or Woodlands of Marburg, both properties have beautiful heritage

accommodation on offer. For more places to stay see pages 38–39.
