Couples – Discover Ipswich

Couples

Spend the day in the adventure playground on Brisbane’s doorstep then snuggle up by a campfire at Hardings Paddock, or book your accommodation at a B&B or a city hotel – perhaps in walking distance of the many restaurants, cafes and bars in the city heart. For couples who love the great outdoors and road tripping, start your day with a scenic hot air balloon flight before exploring historic country towns, national parks and pubs with big old verandas dotted across the region.
