DescriptionHummock on Cunninghams Hill, Ipswich, 1992. Cunningham’s Hill named after Allan Cunningham who discovered the Darling Downs in 1827. He also reported seeing a coal stream above and below the Bremer River at the then Limestone Station that would become the town of Ipswich. The current plaque on the site reads: The Old Hummock, Limestone Residue. In 1827 Captain Patrick Logan, commandant of the Moreton Bay penal settlement sent an overseer and five convicts to quarry limestone at this site. The Limestone was forwarded to Brisbane in small boats for use in erecting buildings at that settlement. References (offline)Ipswich Historical SocietySatterthwait, Leonn, (ed.)
