DescriptionThe original mile post marked the first primary road from Brisbane to Ipswich.
The original main road followed the alignment of Brisbane Terrace through Goodna, over the railway bridge and along Brisbane Road through Redbank. The route of the original road was altered in 1955 to the present location of the Cunningham Highway. The current road through the township remained as a main road until ca1965.
From this marker it was 7½ miles to Ipswich and 17 miles to Brisbane. The marker was one of two remaining mile posts situated in the City of Ipswich.
The original mile post was affected by the elements and deteriorated significantly.
A replica mile post (an exact copy of the original), was installed in 2015..
