Brisbane Road, the main street leading to the nearby historical centre of Ipswich, runs through the middle of Dinmore.

Many of the locals call Dinmore, "The Gateway to the City," because it is at the entranceway to Ipswich, as well as being the entrance to Brisbane, from the West.

Dinmore is only minutes from the city, but still has the feel of a rural suburb, with parks and green spaces throughout.

[3] The origin of the suburb name is from a village called Hope under Dinmore in Herefordshire, England.

[4] On 16 April 1887 auctioneer R.J. Cottell offered 140 suburban blocks in the Dinmore Township Estate.

It was on the south-west corner of River Road and Claydon Street (27°35′37″S 152°49′55″E / 27.5937°S 152.8320°E / -27.5937; 152.8320 (Dinmore State School (former))).

A new car park was built at the station to allow for a substantial access point for driving commuters.

Dinosaur tracks originating from the Upper Triassic (Norian) Blackstone Formation have been reported from Dinmore:[26] 1) Rylance No.
