The New Ipswich

[@rebeccakleine5473]

Fantastic. Thankyou. This should be shown in primary schools.

Wow what a place, far removed from todays Ipswich. None of the industry left now just mostly Centerlink Bogans getting up to no good. A lot of the houses you see are still there and just as beautiful as they always were.

Oh how times have changed. Not just for ipswich but right across the country. Almost all of our industry is gone and society went downhill long ago.

A great sketch of a completely vanished Australia. Sulkies delivering milk from churns. Children with no shoes at school. Men mining. Women weaving. Girls learning how to cook for their later families. Tea from the billy with supper on the riverbank ! Fascinating.

That was a fantastic documentary, thank you 👍❤️

It would be nice to get in a car and drive back to this Ipswich. Lauriston is still there on Robertson Rd - just. The young lady walking out the gate at 4:40 would be in her 90's. Was she a Hancock?

Notice everyone is fed for free no hunger in those days How backwards we have gone

[@thomaselliott573]

From days when people enjoyed life in our great country. Sadly, no more.

I love the clothing men wore back in the day. Unless one is out in the outback, I would think that most men would wear slacks and suit and wearing a hat. Nicely dressed.

Smoking and naked flames underground. Just as well the Ipswich pits were not very gassy.

[@ADayInTheLifeOfJames]

Wouldn’t they be ashamed seeing what that society has become 😂

[@maxrockatanksyOG]

Now its just a shithole full of Ice users & Centerlink bums, no industry, heaps of Indians...

[@akwawka]

Everything went to pot when men stopped wearing hats. Bring back hat wearing and just watch how manners and good behaviour flourish.
