Deebing Creek Mission

The Deebing Creek Mission extends across South Deebing Creek Road, featuring historic plantings, remnants of structures, and an underground water tank from its operational period.

The Aboriginal Protection Society of Ipswich established Deebing Creek Mission in 1887, managing the site until 1915 as a residential and educational facility for Indigenous peoples.

The mission grounds contain a cemetery of great importance to Aboriginal communities, representing enduring connections between Indigenous peoples and this Queensland location.

The heritage site stands 8 kilometers south of Ipswich City, accessible through routes that lead to the remaining structural elements and historical markers.

Records indicate that children from distant locations like Burketown, over 2000 kilometers away, were sent to receive education at this Queensland mission.
