Embark on the Ipswich: Walk Through Time

A secret political scandal once echoed through Ipswich’s elegant streets, yet few locals know which landmark holds its traces. This self-guided audio tour will take you deeper than surface-level history, unveiling hidden drama and architectural marvels in plain sight—spots most visitors stroll past without a second glance.

What secrets did Claremont’s wide verandah shelter during heated debates that shaped Queensland’s future? Who vanished from the depths of the Queensland National Bank and left only a cryptic signature behind? Why do locals insist there is an ancient hotel cellar beneath William Johnston's Shops, whispering stories of fire and forbidden gatherings?

Wander the city as shadows of convicts, politicians, bankers, and innkeepers follow your steps. Each corner bursts with new tension, unseen relics, and centuries-old mysteries just waiting to be unearthed.

Ready to unlock the intrigue lurking beneath Ipswich’s stately facades? Your adventure begins now.
