Swanbank is a suburb of Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. The predominant land usage in Swanbank is industrial. The origin of the suburb name is supposedly from a place in Scotland called Swanbank. [ [http://www.nrw.qld.gov.au/property/placenames/detail.php?id=43061 Place name details ] ] It is named after the birthplace of the wife of an early property owner by the name of James Foote. Strangely enough there is no trace of there ever being a place in Scotland called Swanbank. [ [http://www.rampantscotland.com/placenames/placename_brisbane.htm Scottish Place Names - Brisbane, Australia ] ] Previous names for this area were Logan Lagoon and Josey's Lagoon.

The Swanbank power station is a power station located in Swanbank. Swanbank also has a railway station which is used for heritage purposes.
