22nd NATIONAL MODEL A FORD MEET - Ipswich Vintage Car Meet

EVENT: Model A Ford Meet
WHERE: IPSWICH QUEENSLAND
WHEN: Monday 26th to Friday 30th MARCH 2012

Hi Folks, I'd like to invite you to join us at Ipswich in Queensland, to again show the Australian public that the Model 'A' Ford is the great survivor of the vintage car era, and well deserves its title as the World's most popular collector car.
As Queensland's oldest provincial city, Ipswich has a rich history. It is renowned for its architectural, natural and cultural heritage. Ipswich proudly preserves and still operates from many of its fine historical buildings and homes, with more than 6000 heritage-listed sites. Ipswich also has a range of charming townships within the western rural areas of the city, each with its own legitimate claims of historical significance.
Ipswich offers all the modern facilities and attractions of a progressive city. Attractions include the Railway Workshops Museum, steam trains, more than 500 parks, wineries, cafes, restaurants, cinemas and shopping centres. Ipswich hosts regular national and local festivals and events such as the Queensland Open Golf Championships, Ipswich Cup - the city's annual major horse race, drag racing's finest at the Winternationals held at Willowbank Raceway, Queensland 400 V8 Supercars at Queensland Raceway.
Don't forget Ipswich is central to all the wonderful experiences of South East Queensland including; the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Dreamworld, Sea World, Movie World, Australia Zoo, The Darling Downs and Lamington National Park, just to mention a few.
The Ipswich City Mayor and Council are very excited to have the Model A Ford Meet held in their city and we are well on the way to planning an event to remember.

Chinese beauties showcase beautiful Queensland What's On Ipswich

Twelve top models from China and Hong Kong will turn South East Queensland into their studio this week as part of a new Tourism Queensland campaign targeting key Asian markets, Tourism Queensland CEO Anthony Hayes said today.

The models will be using Queensland as the backdrop for a calendar that will be distributed throughout Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and Japan.

"The photo shoot will show off the best of South East Queensland, including Brisbane by night, Sirromet Winery, Palazzo Versace and the Gold Coast’s beaches and national parks," Mr Hayes said.

"The visiting models are among Asia’s most famous and we are chuffed that South East Queensland will co-star with them in what will no doubt be a very popular calendar.

"The line up includes Hong Kong’s most famous young model Yeung Wing, also known as Angela Baby, as well as popular Hong Kong models Lynn Xiong, Mikki Yao and Liu Dan."

He said China was a significant growth market for both Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

"The number of Chinese visitors to Brisbane was up 19 percent to 62,000 over the year to March 2010, while Chinese visitors to the Gold Coast were up 15 percent to 106,000 over the same period," Mr Hayes said.

"Chinese visitors also spent $326 million on trips to Queensland, an increase of $87 million from the previous year.

"The exposure our vibrant destinations will receive through the top model calendar will hopefully help entice more Chinese visitors to come and holiday in South East Queensland."

Feedback for Restaurant at Metro Hotel Ipswich International

To everyone who worked on Saturday 6 March,

My family and I would like to thank you all for a fabulous dinner on Saturday night. My husband and I had been to your restaurant twice previously and enjoyed dinner so we decided to take our parents along. I must admit that my father was sceptical about a "nice restaurant" being in Ipswich but at the end of the evening he couldn't stop raving about the lovely food and service. Even the next morning they were all talking about what a lovely evening it was.

We all had a fantastic night - the food was great and the service from everyone, particularly, Hannah and Amy was fabulous.

A credit to everyone who was there on Saturday night.

Kind regards,

N.Sims-Chilton
