To this day Ipswich remains an historic city full of traditional Queensland homes, heritage-listed churches and buildings, and pretty parks. While classic Queensland homes are dotted around the city, I recommend you take a drive through the Denmark Hill area, in particular Chelmsford Avenue to see beautiful home after home. Whilst at Denmark Hill take a walk through the Denmark Hill Conservation Park.
