A horror multi-vehicle crash west of Brisbane involving a cattle truck has left a 56-year-old man dead with a number of animals put down following the fatal collision. A man in his 50s has died after a horror truck crash on a major highway west of Brisbane. A light truck was travelling east on the Warrego Highway near Brassall about 12:45pm on Tuesday when the incident occurred, Queensland Police said.   The vehicle was struck by a B-double cattle truck and a car, according to initial investigations. The driver of the light truck, a 56-year-old Marsden man, died at the scene. Three people were treated at the scene for injuries, a Queensland Ambulance Service spokesperson revealed.  “Two stable patients were transported to Ipswich Hospital following a two-truck and vehicle crash on the Warrego Highway east bound at 12.45pm,” they said. “A third patient was treated on scene with life-threatening injuries.” On their arrival at the scene, emergency crews found the B-double cattle truck on its side, as well as another truck which had spilled debris on the road. A number of animals on the cattle truck had to be euthanised. The Warrego Highway was closed in both directions between Pine Mountain Road and Kholo Road, reopening at about 1am on Wednesday. The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating the incident.  The Queensland Government provided $143,000 and Ipswich City Council $28,000 to the Sutton Park lighting upgrade to enable local residents to participate in sport and recreation activities Ipswich Mayor Teresa Harding said council was investing in the city’s sporting fields to ensure council was keeping pace with the rapid growth of Ipswich and we want our infrastructure to embody our city’s quality of life and liveability We want our city to be active and healthy with a variety of activities facilities and services on offer for all to take part,” Mayor Harding said pools and courts attract athletes of all ages and abilities In the lead-up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games fostering participation in sport is a major focus for the region “The new lights were identified as a priority and will ensure the relevant Australian standards for local football will be met through delivering a greater opportunity for games and training sessions at night.” Ipswich City Football Club Vice President Andrew Want and Division 4 Councillors David Cullen and Jim Madden inspect upgraded lighting at Sutton Park Member for Ipswich Jennifer Howard was pleased to represent the Minister for Sport at the official opening of the new lighting facilities at Sutton Park “The Queensland Government is proud to invest in local sporting facilities and parks and lighting is a pivotal part of that,” Ms Howard said Ipswich City Council Division 4 Councillor David Cullen said as the city continues to grow and welcome new residents demand also continues for increased and upgraded sporting facilities “Council is committed to maintaining and improving our city’s parks and sports grounds wisely through careful consideration and prioritisation of new and upgraded open spaces and sporting facilities across Ipswich,” Cr Cullen said “This new lighting upgrade is another example of how council is working with the local community to deliver what is needed.” Division 4 Councillor Jim Madden said sport plays an integral role in the lives of Queenslanders of all ages “Our sporting clubs contribute so much to our local communities and it’s critical that they have safe compliant and competition-worthy facilities to ensure their futures for our local sports people,” said Cr Madden “We continue to upgrade our facilities to produce the next generation of athletes ahead of the 2032 Games and support our local legends who grace our fields each weekend.” Sutton Park is one of two home grounds for the Ipswich City Football Club which is celebrating its 50th anniversary next year and has almost 900 members Ipswich City Football Club Vice-President Andrew Want said the lighting upgrade was a welcome addition to the growing club’s facilities “With the existing lights having reached their end of life this modern upgrade is timely and means we can now train and play competition-grade games at night,” Mr Want said “The upgrade to LED lighting also means we can keep our operational costs down and pass on those savings to our members who have growing cost-of-living pressures “As volunteers keeping the club running week-on-week we are very grateful to council and the state government for enabling us to offer our members high-quality facilities while also minimising costs.” The lighting upgrade is the latest improvement at Sutton Park where a $1.6 million modern skatepark jointly funded by council and the State Government >> New Lions partnership roaring with Ipswich pride >> Ipswich economy smashes $13 billion mark >> Celebrate 15 years of iconic Ipswich attraction Your email address will not be published.

service is helping Ipswich residents to dispose of unwanted items around their home “Council’s collection teams will be moving through each Ipswich suburb passing about 86,603 households,” Mayor Harding said “From Monday 7 February teams will be collecting across Brassall and disposing of your unwanted items that are not suitable for household general waste or your recycling bin “This will be the fourth week of the free kerbside collection and we have seen a great response in the suburbs covered so far.” Read the guidelines on what is an acceptable item to put on the footpath as only

decorated the bridge as about 100 official guests and spectators watched the ceremony The Mayor of the day Alderman Jim Finimore Ipswich’s longest serving Mayor from 1950 until 1972 unveiled a plaque and cut a blue ribbon with a pair of gold scissors which were then presented to him as a memento of the occasion According to an article in the Queensland Times he said in his speech that ‘”increasing industry caused Ipswich to be a vulnerable place in time of war”.’ “It was essential that new bridges be built capable of carrying heavy traffic.” Mayor Finimore also remarked that the bridge had become necessary because of developments in the housing industry “Over the last 12 years an average of 750,000 pounds a year had been spent on new homes,” he said “In the last year this amount had reached 1,266,000 pounds.” But this bridge was not the beginning of the story The Hancock Bridge was built alongside the Harlin Road Bridge which was the first bridge joining the suburbs about 40 years before The Harlin Road Bridge was constructed after the residents and Brassall and Woodend rallied together in 1913 to have Ipswich joined with North Ipswich Together the community raised the funds to contribute half of the estimated cost Tenders were call in late 1915 and the bridge was completed in 1918 at a cost of 5,140 pounds The plaque from the old Harlin Road Bridge was remounted on the southern approach to the new Hancock Bridge It was made of prestressed concrete 30 foot wide with five 60 foot spans The highest point was about 40 foot above water level and it was believed it would be free from flooding It was believed to be the first bridge in Queensland with a casting as large as its beams Ipswich Mayor Teresa Harding said the Hancock Bridge is not only a reminder of the city’s rich heritage structure but remains an essential river crossing for thousands of residents each day “River and creek crossings remain an important part of the infrastructure mix to meet the needs of our fast-growing city,” Mayor Harding said “The first piece of construction for the planned upgrade and duplication of the Springfield Greenbank Arterial will be a single span bridge crossing Opossum Creek on Springfield Parkway and Springfield Greenbank Arterial “Council is also seeking funding support from all levels of government on a second CBD Bremer River crossing revitalise the city centre and stimulate economic growth.” The plaque from the old Harlin Road Bridge was remounted on the southern approach to the new Hancock Bridge and can still be seen today Thomas Hancock senior came to Australia from Cornwall with his family in 1856 moving to the district in 1864 He established a sawmill in the Rosewood scrub area in 1867 before moving to Ipswich and setting up a timber yard In 1878 they added the North Ipswich timber mill to their business and were able to turn out 50,000 feet of sawn timber per week In 1880 Mr Hancock purchased land at Lamington Parade in North Ipswich along the Bremer River and set up a large mill with three storeys which would become their main office; the business now known as Thomas Hancock & Sons Thomas senior retired from the business in 1884 and passed away in 1891 leaving his two sons Thomas junior and Josias to run the business The historic home known as “Fairy Knoll” is located on the corner of Whitehill and Robertson Road was built in 1901 for Thomas Hancock Junior and his wife Louisa After a fallout between the brothers Thomas Jnr and Josias Josias moved away from the Hancock Mill leaving Thomas Jnr running the business Josias Hancock along with Joseph Gore established Hancock and Gore By 1945 the company became Australia’s largest producer of plywood the fourth generation of the Hancock family were still running the Hancock mill at North Ipswich and new products such as plywood decking were being made In 2011 Boral Hancock Plywood closed its doors Viv Hancock (pictured) was in attendance at the opening of the

look at my right thumb and there is a freckle on it and I will look at that freckle for the rest of my life I look to my left and there is a man sitting to the left of me This man has red hair and he’s got tattoos all over himself and he’s got muscles and he is wearing a Jackie Howe singlet and he’s wearing thongs and I turn to this man and say ‘I love you dad’ “This man turns to me and smiles

and suburban underground into Mona Lisa territory Set in various suburbs on the Brisbane working-class fringe in the 80s it is a rare thing to read about suburbs like Darra and Bracken Ridge in Brisbane literature The plot of the book centres around 13-year-old Eli Bell who manages to maintain his optimism despite his complicated life his babysitter is the ‘Houdini of Boggo Road’ jail and his step father is a heroin dealer But it is our City of Ipswich which runs in Dalton’s DNA “I have built a journalism career out of finding the extraordinary in the ordinary people and I first learned that in Ipswich With my neighbours or with the people that lived in our house Deeply intriguing characters and all those characters are inside that book,” he said.“My early childhood was spent in Ipswich with my three older brothers and my mum She fell in love with a guy who lived at Brassall and he was a very interesting guy “He had more than one foot inside the criminal underworld That guy to me was just this most beautiful father figure who taught me how to be resilient gave us kids love at a time in our life when we needed it most.” One day Dalton and his older brothers were on an adventure and one of his brothers told him to follow “There was a door and he moves the clothes aside and taps the back of the internal wardrobe,” Mr Dalton said “He pushed it aside and uncovered a secret area an underground room and in that room was only a red telephone “That single memory became that book “I wrote 470 pages about who was on the end of that telephone trying to figure out in my own head Because I never found out who was on the end of that red I thought if I could harness some of that magic and wonder I had as a kid and transfer that to a book then I might have something.”

space for itself It’s usually non-conformist and brave It breaks the usual templates and creates new rules Boy Swallows Universe falls into this canon.’ Dalton has his feet firmly planted on the ground “I went out there recently and drove past that place at Brassall and I saw it It’s still there and it had a profound effect on me,” he said the one with the secret room that gave birth to a

house in Queensland this week and one of the top viewed properties nationally And it is easy to see why this original and striking house on the market for the first time in more than 70 years struck a chord with so many – it is like a walk back through time MORE NEWS: Off-grid Qld acreage listed with 4WD, motocross tracks, six cabins How the plane from Thor movie ended up in a Queensland backyard Why we bought in one of QLD’s most affordable regions beating a million dollar showstopper at Hawthorne Or as the marketing agent put it: “You’ll feel like you have just stepped out of the DeLorean” The iconic Brassall house has had just one owner since it was built and it even comes with the original blueprints from 1948 “The owner was ahead of his time when he built the kitchen with features that Ikea hadn’t even thought of yet,” the listing by Jason McNamara of Ipswich Real Estate says It was Queensland’s most viewed residential listing this week The second most ogled house was a riverfront mansion at Hawthorne which was the nation’s 7th most viewed house Queensland’s second most viewed house was at 132 Virginia Avenue with each room boasting its very own colour scheme But it was that retro home that caught the attention of the most buyers There is also a sewing room according to the original plans “Outside there is a single motor car garage (it’s on the plans) and a workshop and fernery,” adding that the property is scattered with numerous fruit trees The property was very much loved by one owner for more than 70 years Listing photos also give a glimpse into yesteryear cookie jars and biscuit tins in the kitchen furniture that will invoke memories of a trip to your grandparents But there is bad news for those keen to do the time warp While it was listed for offers over $449,000 including the built-in beds,” Mr McNamara said adding the owner had been a builder and had constructed several homes around Ipswich who have fond memories of growing up and playing in the backyard “It is rare to have a house that has had the one owner and still looks very much like it did when they built and decorated it.” It harks back to a time when colour was king Mr McNamara said there had been plenty of interest in the house from local “stickybeaks” keen to take a peek inside the iconic house to local and interstate buyers But he said the new owner was from Brisbane and planned to “leave it as it is” and plant even more fruit trees “They loved the design and retro feel of it that it was a well loved family home,” he said third parties have written and

I had these books that were called adventure books In these books you could pick your own adventure the book would get so far and then you would have to choose which path you would take you could read the same book many times yet each time you read it I am reminded of these books each time I journey along Brassall bike paths There are undisputed benefits to walking outdoors and in Ipswich we have so many places to start I traveled along the Brassall Bikeway from WM Hughes St North Ipswich following it to Brassall with my three children We also discovered the stage four Brassall bike path from the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail to Wulkuraka smooth enough for my youngest learning to roller skate to practice along and stretches of distance long enough to reach my outdoor walking goal Brassall Bikeway stage four Diamantina Dr is one of the entry points to the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (BVRT) and the Brassall bikeway to Wulkuraka it’s a 3.6km continued concrete path of the bikeway As we were walking we used the bikeway and the first thing I noticed was other people using the path on the horizon is breathtaking views of the mountains You will notice a rail theme along this pathway and this is explained on a heritage place plaque which tells the story of the original Ipswich rail line that travelled through the now pathway Incredible to think that the path I am walking on has been travelled by people of yesteryear travelling to Grandchester Station and perhaps even by the author of Mary Poppins this pathway has photo-worthy birdlife to challenge your photography skills we spotted Superb Fairy Wren’s at dusk and some tracks we a thought might have come from a Curlew Reaching the Mihi Junction Mountain Bike Trails my children found it fun to run along the track that we had all to ourselves a man called Allan Cunningham stopped to rest his bullocks under some fig trees in Ipswich Cunningham later went on to discover the gap in the mountains seen from the Ipswich fig trees he had rested under The moral of the story –  when on great missions These are the very figs that in 1828 provided shade to a man on a mission explored a path to what is now known as Cunninghams Gap If you visit Cunningham’s Knoll opposite Queens Park (a monument built at the site which was once a convict station to mine Limestone you can rest under these figs and watch the sunset as I often do Denmark Hill Conservation Park and Water Tower Pack the kids some snacks and venture over to Denmark Hill for a half day exploration that will delight small children Find dinosaur tracks by following the marked pathways The site is educational and interesting for all family members Reach great heights climbing many floors of stairs to the top of the water tower for a 360 degree view of Ipswich and signage with detailed information about landmarks In late 2011 Queensland Urban Utilities made a new viewing platform on the old rooftop of the water tower towering St Mary’s Catholic Church and Queensland’s first grammar school as well as mountain ranges including the Great Dividing Range Brisbane Valley Range and if the sky is clear Brisbane CBD Along with the water park and forest play area the river walkway is a scenic place to enjoy a pram friendly stroll Starting from the car park located next to the forest play area the stroll will take you to opposite Riverlink Shopping Centre Feel secure as this walkway is monitored by Ipswich’s Safe City camera network 24/7 White Rock Spring Mountain Conservation Park introduce yourself to the White Rock Conservation Park Children are able to experience basic rock climbing and nature walking from the Paperbark Picnic area to a smaller lookout area that in a round trip took us two hours with children aged from 6-9 years however climbing White Rock itself is a more challenging option for adults and I recommend to do it with a group of rock climbing enthusiasts as you may need a hand reaching the peak The Instagram worthy view from the top of The White Rock Ridge makes the hike more than worthwhile Blackstone Hill has really interesting history which was built in 1891 by a Welsh coal mining magnate These days the site is located within the Castle Hill Blackstone Reserve which has about 16km of mountain biking trails and 4km of walking trails and historical markers It takes about 30 minute to get to the old castle site (which is located by a historical marker) and is an up-hill active family friendly walk Lions Lookout is at the top of Queens Park From the lookout you can see over the city of Ipswich and often watch planes flying about you can start at the Nature Centre Queens Park car park and jog or walk up to the lookout a 40 minute round trip or you can access the lookout anytime via the information centre car park Maybe we could have some maps to sow where the walks begin and end Especially the Brassall one and the Castle Hill one Hi Grace, You will find a number of walking trail
