About Ipswich

Over the past couple of days me and Ken have been going around Ipswich telling me all about Ipswich and local landmarks.  The first place i was taken was the disused water tower, where you can see for miles and miles if you looked in the right place and squinted a little you could see the high rise in Brisbane.  I was shown at this point where...
  • Kens kids went to school,
  • Kens brother works,
  • Rosewood was in comparision to where we were,
  • Bribane high rise was,
  • Private school that costs 200$ a week to send ya kids there,
  • The hospital where mum went for her operation.
I have also gone over the bridge that must be at least 50m above the rive underneath but when the floods arrived the water was just 2m under the bridge.  Really unbelievable as to what really happened here, just down the road from the river you could see where the floods had ripped through.  There were so many shops that are obviously low lying and got flooded because you could see them either still boarded up or gutting the places and building the interior from the ground up.

I was taken past a few other places of interest, we had RiverStink (sorry River Link), this was just over the bridge where it nearly flooded but because RiverLink was just above the bridge the only thing that flooded was the underground car parks.  Just down the road from there is where Ken lived for about 16 years with his ex wife and two children.  We even went up to Richards old place where Ken was living when he first started talking to mum on the computer.  Oh my god it felt so sureal seeing this place that i've seen so many times on the webcam.

I think that sis everywhere of extreme interest to me, urm whats coming up next for the blog..... well on the 24th we are going to pick up Kens son Jarrod and his gf and son, and then Friday we are going to Movie World (like thorpe park but all the rides are based on films, funny that really) and then Saturday is mums birthday party, dont worry mum i wond disclose your age for the world LMAO !!!!!
