IPSWICH - THE EARLY DAYS
Ipswich is a beautiful old town with a very interesting history. Many of the old buildings are still in existence today and sit side by side with the more modern buildings rubbing shoulders quite comfortably. I came across these old engravings dating to around 1890 - 1900 on the Bremer River looking upstream towards where I live. The old railway bridge is still there with the big Riverlink Shopping Centre on one side of it now and the Ipswich CBD on the other.
