Ipswich in Spring - 2026

Ipswich Cemetery Ghost Tour

Step into a rich and layered past of grand architecture, old-world rail, character-filled precincts and surprising local tales, with heritage experiences that feel fresh, immersive and fun. How to explore history and heritage in Ipswich

One of the most atmospheric ways to begin is with a ghost tour led by historian Jack Sim’s team. Whether wandering through the CBD or exploring the cemeteries at Ipswich or Goodna, these tours reveal eerie tales that bring the city’s history to life after dark. For a deeper cultural experience, head to Hardings Paddock, where First Nations heritage is thoughtfully shared. Walk the Aboriginal Totem trail, visit the yarning circle and explore the bush tucker trail, all designed to connect visitors with traditional knowledge and Country. In Queens Park, the Ceremonial Healing and Remembrance Place offers a meaningful space to reflect on the service and sacrifice of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Ipswich’s streets are lined with stunning historic buildings that tell their own stories.
