Episode Synopsis


Is Ipswich ready to welcome Olympic visitors in 2032? One local tourism operator doesn’t think so. Floating Images chief pilot Graeme Day joins the show with his take on the current state of tourism in Ipswich. He thinks council could be doing more to support destination marketing and looks to Moreton Bay region as an alternative model on how to manage and promote tourism.Interview recorded: 23 September 2025.Published: 24 September 2025.Image: Floating Images owner and chief pilot Graeme Day (supplied)Theme music: AudioJungle - Mark_Music and Matt SteinerIpswich City Council: www.ipswich.qld.gov.au/Ipswich City Council meeting agendas and minutes: bit.ly/2JlrVKYCouncil meetings on YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/IpswichCityCouncilTVIpswich Planning Scheme: https://bit.ly/3g4Jwb7Inside Ipswich: https://ipswichtoday.com.au/inside-ipswich/Shape Your Ipswich: www.shapeyouripswich.com.au/Ipswich Civic Centre: www.ipswichciviccentre.com.au/Ipswich Festivals: https://www.ipswichfestivals.com.au/Black Swan Art (David Pearce): https://www.blackswanart.com.au/Ipswich Art Gallery: www.ipswichartgallery.qld.gov.au/Ipswich Community Gallery: https://ipswichartgallery.qld.gov.au/community/ipswich-community-galleryDiscover Ipswich: www.discoveripswich.com.au/Discover Ipswich what's on: https://whatson.discoveripswich.com.au/Workshops Rail Museum: https://www.museum.qld.gov.au/rail-workshopsIpswich Libraries: www.ipswichlibraries.com.au/Studio 188: www.studio188.com.au/Nicholas Street Precinct: www.nicholasst.com.au/Picture Ipswich: www.pictureipswich.com.au/Lost Ipswich Facebook: https://bit.ly/3pLLBwNc
