Cooneana Heritage Centre

Get in touch

Home to the Ipswich Historical Society, Cooneana Heritage Centre displays historical photographs, artifacts, traditional crafts and coal mining equipment that showcase the diverse history of Ipswich – Queensland's oldest provincial city.

Youngsters can help our possum, Nea, find some of her favourite items. This enables them to be actively engaged and if they find everything in their booklet they win a prize!

Cooneana Homestead was built in 1868.

Jim Donald House is an example of a Miners Cottage of the early 1900s. See coal mining displays and videos inside.

In the schoolroom children can experience an old classroom complete with "engraved" wooden desks and slates – a great experience for school groups. At the Cooneana blacksmiths shop you can find blacksmiths working at their forges.

The Spinners, Weavers, Fibre Artisans of Ipswich welcome visitors Mondays and Thursdays and the first Saturday each month.

Historical Motorcycle Club of Queensland, Ipswich Area has a clubhouse on site and is happy to display their vintage and veteran motorbikes.
