Who are we?
Ivorys Rock is a hidden natural gem located on the doorstep of Ipswich and the Scenic Rim in glorious Southeast Queensland, set over 1,700 acres offering events and camping, operated by the Ivorys Rock Foundation.
No one does outdoor events like Ivorys Rock, with purpose-built places and spaces that can host and accommodate up to 5000 on site, with an amphitheatre, pavilion, meeting rooms, conference spaces, a range of cabins, apartments, and award-winning campgrounds with quality amenities.
From family camping adventures and intimate outback getaways through to conferences and conventions, workshops, sporting events, expos, retreats, concerts, weddings, and group celebrations, it’s all possible at Ivorys Rock. Ivorys Rock is not just a blank canvas. It comes with a canopy of stars, fresh country air, moonlight, and birdsong.
Did we mention we can also offer up wallabies, koalas, lorikeets, billabongs, bush walks, campfires, and breathtaking sunsets?
Ivorys Rock – it’s the natural choice for events and camping.
History of the Ivorys Rock site
Ivorys Rock is the name of the ancient volcanic plug on which the land is centred, forming an incredible backdrop for this beautiful venue, also known as “The Rock”, located at Peak Crossing, Queensland. To our First Nations People, the site is referred to as Muntambin (meaning “native plum”), and to our regular peace event goers, it’s Amaroo. Whatever your preferred moniker, Ivorys Rock is a much-loved and appreciated property that celebrates the best of the Australian outback.
When the land was purchased in the 1990s, pig farms and cleared land abounded. Since the 1990s, development occurred at various locations across this vast property, responding to the needs of large-scale peace events to deliver what visitors experience today.
The Ivory's Rock facility commenced operation as IRCC – The Ivory's Rock Conference Centre, in the early 1990s. From moderate beginnings, the significant investment in the construction of new facilities such as the Pavilion, Amphitheatre and Conference Centre, and the development of site infrastructure such as water, electricity, and communications, has made the venue the magnificent destination it is today – perfect for events and camping.
All constructions and works have been carried out with sympathy, care, and respect for what is a pristine environment that can now be shared by all visitors. The Ivory's Rock venue and its management have been recipients of a number of environmental and design awards for the development of the facility. The result is a delightful and remarkably functional venue that is also a haven for many species of indigenous wildlife.
Since opening, Ivorys Rock has hosted a number of major events, conventions and conferences with up to 5,000 people enjoying its natural beauty and quality infrastructure and facilities.
