Basin Pocket is a lovely quiet area of Ipswich, kind of hidden away from the inner city of Ipswich but so close to every shop and takeaway place you can think of. I have lived here since January 2011, moving from Brisbane, and it was the best decision getting away from the Brisbane congestion. McGill Street in Basin Pocket is one of the best streets, with mostly owner occupiers, who all maintain their properties. We have so many bus stops on and around our street with quick access to the train lines or a short walk if you'd prefer.

There are many pathways connecting you to various parks nearby and leading right into the heart of the Ipswich CBD, passing by the water park and rainforest walk in town. So many gorgeous cafes nearby and the best butcher is on Blackhall Street. Near there is also a small block of corner shops and a bowling green and sports club, among many others, a short courteous bus ride away. We have experienced a great range of beautiful birds and even king parrots and cockatoos from time to time. The parks nearby house a family of kookaburras and owls.

Basin Pocket is truly a great place and growing better every year; you will love being a part of the Pocket.
