Download coordinates as: Grandchester is a rural town and locality in the City of Ipswich, Queensland, Australia.

The first track opened to traffic on Monday 31 July 1865 from Ipswich, as the Queensland Government was keen to prove the viability of its controversial 'pony railway'.

This wharf handled rail freight until a railway line joining Ipswich to Brisbane was opened in 1875.

[16] The construction of the Victoria Tunnel through the Little Liverpool Range to the west of Grandchester was behind schedule, and so, although it served a very small population, Bigge's Camp (as it was initially known) became the terminus for 10 months, until the line was extended to Gatton.

[21] Grandchester Provisional School opened in November 1870 in a tent borrowed from the Queensland Government, but which closed after one month in December 1870.

[22] Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary Roman Catholic Church was officially opened in November 1894 by Archbishop Robert Dunne.

It was designed by Ipswich architect Henry E. Wyman and was built by James Madden at a cost of £130 on the site of the former Jockey Club Hotel at 7-9 George Street (27°39′40″S 152°27′54″E / 27.66103°S 152.46505°E / -27.66103; 152.46505 (St Peter's Catholic Church (former))).

[32] Work on the long process of restoring the mill to its former glory started almost immediately in the days following the fire.

[41] The Ipswich City Council operates a fortnightly mobile library service which visits the Grandchester Hotel.

[42] St Anne's Anglican Church at 798 Hiddenvale Road (27°42′56″S 152°28′12″E / 27.7155°S 152.4700°E / -27.7155; 152.4700 (29 July 2020)) holds monthly services.
