Ipswich is a suburb and a major urban centre of metropolitan Brisbane Queensland, Australia approximately 40 km (24.9 mi) south-west of the Brisbane CBD in South East Queensland. The City of Ipswich including surrounding suburbs has an estimated population of 162,383.

Once a large independent city, Ipswich and its suburbs were absorbed by Brisbane's south west urban sprawl along the railway and freeway corridors during the mid 20th century. However the city has retained its municipal status and along with it an independent history and culture. The city is situated on the Bremer River and the urban area extends along the river's hilly valley. Ipswich is a major commercial and industrial area, with the Ipswich CBD one of the largest activity centres outside of central Brisbane. It is currently undergoing major transit oriented urban renewal which was first planned in the Ipswich Regional Centre Strategy.

Ipswich was named in 1843 after the town of Ipswich, England. It was first settled in 1827 after limestone was mined there, proclaimed a municipality in 1858 and a city in 1904.

Big crash! (Almost deadly accident) here has been an incident involving a MINI Challenge race car leaving the race track at the City of Ipswich 300 at Queensland Raceway this afternoon. A MINI Challenge car lost control and rolled over a protective barrier into a crowd gathered at turn six of the track. Medical crews and Police were on-site immediately. Two spectators were injured and transported to Ipswich Base Hospital. The extent of their injuries appears to be relatively minor, pending full medical evaluation. Both were conscious whilst being treated at the scene. There were no other reported injuries. The Mini driver was also transported by Ambulance to Ipswich Base Hospital for precautionary tests but was reportedly not injured. More info: tinyurl.com (ausmotive.com)

Una parte dell'Australia delle dimensioni della Germania è sott'acqua. Nello Stato del Queensland sono caduti 200 millimetri di pioggia per giorni. La città di Brisbane, la terza del Paese con due milioni di abitanti, assomiglia a Venezia. Al posto delle gondole ci sono le barche della Protezione Civile e nell'acqua nuotano numerosi i serpenti, scacciati dalle tane invase dalle acque. In centro è stato avvistato anche un pescecane giunto dall'Oceano. Alcune città dell'interno come Ipswich (162.000 ab.) e Toowoobomba (128.000 ab.) sono state sommerse quasi completamente dall'alluvione con la gente che ha cercato la salvezza sui tetti.

ABC News Qld 20:00 AEDT - Authorities are urging people to stay calm as Brisbane and Ipswich prepare for unprecedented flooding over the next two days. Heavy rain, releases from the giant Wivenhoe Dam and high tides will combine to cause major flood peaks in both cities in the next couple of days, with river levels rising above the historic 1974 floods. And a four-year-old boy's death in Ipswich has taken the Queensland floods death toll to 10. ABC News Queensland - ABC News 24 11 Jan 2010 20:00 AEDT Australian Broadcasting Corporation
