A traditional British meal of roast turkey and plum pudding may have once dominated Australia s Christmas tables. But as our population has become more diverse, so has our menu.

IPSWICH is a growing city, and that s putting it mildly. Over the next decade or so, our population is set to double, and it is on our southern and eastern extremities where all the action will be happening, as far as new housing is concerned. Like it or loathe it, all that new development is going ahead, and that means tonnes of new Ipswich residents are preparing to set themselves up in our neck of the woods.
