Ipswich, QLD, AU / QLD
Cunninghams Knoll, opposite Queens Park on the main entrance to Ipswich, pays homage to the region’s early European explorers as well as its convict history. Ipswich was once established as a convict station to mine Limestone to make mortar for the buildings being constructed in Moreton Bay Penal Colony (which would eventually become Brisbane). A monument on the site commemorates Allan Cunningham, a dedicated explorer and botanist, who visited Ipswich several times. The inscription reads: To Perpetuate The Memory Of Explorer ALLAN CUNNINGHAM Who Camped Under These Fig Trees In The Year 1828
