Nicholas Street Precinct — Attraction in Ipswich City

We visited at 10:00am on a Saturday, coinciding with the Handmade Markets before Mothers’ Day. We took advantage of the free undercover parking directly downstairs, which was as plentiful as it was convenient. There were a number of food trucks available and we were spilt for choice. We had the vege spring rolls, nasi goreng and pork buns, which were delicious, but will sample fare from the other trucks in future. We stopped into the library and were informed that an Irish dancing presentation would be available upstairs. There were a myriad of markets on site, with postings, handiwork, clothing, bbq supplies, dog treats, wood craft and cards among the many things on offer. The prices were surprisingly reasonable.

Well presented and maintained public space near the train station, buses and across the footbridge from Riverlink shopping centre. Public libraries, dining and conveniences all in a central location.

If you're quick, you can return library books, pickup sushi (best around), Mexican, dumplings, bao buns, coffee, newsagent stuff, pharmaceuticals, even milk.

Close to regional gallery- this is a great destination for locals and tourists alike. Live music and markets regularly...

It also has a dedicated children's library - Australia's first. There are many boutique shops and food options, and an open lawn area if you'd like to sit around and relax. Ample amounts of parking in the undercover carpark allows for a no-rush visit so we could enjoy a relaxed meal with...
