There’s plenty to do around our beautiful city, especially enjoying getting out and about in the garden. A good way to do that is to grab some tips during Sustainable Ipswich, an annual celebration of everyday actions we can take as a community to create a more liveable city. We will welcome many visitors during spring as our local tourism operators continue to offer unique experiences from farm experiences to outdoor adventures and culinary delights. The season is also a signal to start thinking about deserving individuals and groups for acknowledgement in the annual Ipswich Australia Day Awards, with nominations open until November. So, spring into action and get ready for the best times in Ipswich as the countdown to another summer begins.
