Ipswich

Ipswich is a little city located in south east Queensland of Australia. It is some 45 minutes drive from Brisbane. As Queensland's oldest provincial city, Ipswich has more than 6000 heritage-listed sites.

Within the Ipswich CBD, is Ipswich International Hotel, probably the biggest hotel here, with 80 over guest rooms and 8 service apartments.

Food in Australia is expensive, even in this tiny city. A simple lunch, such as a chicken kebab, will set you back by at least 6.50 AUD. A MSG-filled Chinese fried noodle cost 9.50 AUD.

Egg Benedict (14 AUD breakfast)

But good thing about dining in Australia is what you see is what you get - the price on the menu is what you see on the bill. There is no +++ like what Singapore restaurant practice. And tipping is only encourage for excellent service.

Weather is very cooling as it is still winter season. Guess I will miss the weather here when I go back Singapore.
