The stones used in the Stone Circle are sandstone and they were quarried in the Lockyer Valley north-west of Helidon. Early sedimentary sandstone deposits built up into the attractively grained freestones which are now used as building materials.
Stone circles are associated with ceremonies and vary widely in form, ranging from simple cairns, or piles of stones, to complex groupings of stones. They are usually found close to water and ochre sources.
Stone circles also occur in remote and relatively inaccessible places such as the tops of mountains, or outcrops, where they are often associated with initiation ceremonies. Stone circles are sacred places, akin to the cathedrals and churches of European culture. It is important to show respect when you are in the stone circle.
The stone circle at Ipswich High is for Elders and community members to share stories and songs.
