Fascinating and funny. Jam packed with interesting facts. Your videos must become compulsory viewing for school aged Queenslanders.

All joking aside, I have to leave another comment. This video is fantastic. The old houses are just beautiful. You really have a gift for putting all the history of an area into an entertaining and informative viewing experience. Thank you 😊

I love Ipswich in winter. So crisp and beautiful. I used to drive out there and teach at the UQ campus. I always felt happy out there. Lovely old QLDer houses, rose gardens, old world charm.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip to Ipswich, Rob. It was an excellent video. You fit so much into your ~25 minutes and there's so much more to explore. I hope you make your way back soon. The only thing I'm surprised about is not including a beer at Pumpyard.

Great video Rob! Love Ipswich and I learnt some new things 😁 Lots of funny bits too 😆 Happy 150th video 🥳🥳 Did you know that up until a few years ago, you could climb the stairs to the top of the water tower at Denmark Hill? I'm not sure why the gate is padlocked now, but the views from up there were just amazing, especially at sunset.

You made a city like Ipswich so much more interesting! Congrats on 150 videos. I think I have watched them all.

Great vid Rob. I’m a proud Ipswichian who loves our city and it’s people. I live not far from the cemetery.

The River Heart Parklands Walk is still probably fenced off from the 2022 Floods.

Lots of old historic buildings have been torn down over the years, the Railway Station one of them. Shame, but the ones that remain are great to see everyday.

Did you venture to the Workshops Rail Museum at North Ipswich? Great place to see. Perfect for your vids.

Love to see a follow up from 1904 onwards.

Gidday Rob, my son Brendan actually was the one that directed me to your channel on YouTube as I love the history of Ipswich and Brisbane... I'm loving your videos. I grew up in Ipswich and ive always had an affinity with history but obviously you've done a way better job of historical facts than I thought I had. lol. So I live in the United States now for like 20 years now. My grandfather who has been gone since I was 13yo. I'm now 60yo used to got hang out with local aboriginal kids in Dingo Hills now known as Gailes. he grew up in a house that was in Redbank that was right near the Shell Garage off of the Ipswich Road. My family has a quite the history in this region of Ipswich. I'd love to talk more about this if yo'd like. Cheers, Wes
