Kicking off 2026 with Dr Cliff

History Redcliffe is excited to welcome you back for another year of fascinating stories, lively discussions, and community connection. We are thrilled to announce our very first meeting for 2026, and we’d love for you to join us at 2pm on 6th February at the Redcliffe Library Meeting Room.

We’re starting the year with a bang by inviting Dr Cliff Pollard as our guest speaker. Dr Pollard is a History Redcliffe favourite, renowned for his incredibly informative presentations on medical and military history. His topic for our first meeting of 2026 on 6th February is Surgical and medical advances in WWI. Whether you’re a long-time member or curious newcomer, you won’t want to miss the insights and tales Dr Pollard has to share.

So if you’re a local legend or new to the area, everyone is welcome at History Redcliffe. No prior knowledge required – just bring your curiosity and love for a good story.

We can’t wait to see familiar faces and meet new ones in 2026!

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas from History Redcliffe!

Wishing our wonderful community a joyful, peaceful Christmas and a New Year filled with curiosity, connection, and the sharing of our local stories. Thank you for your support in preserving Redcliffe’s past — we look forward to uncovering and making more history together in the year ahead.

Support Local. Share the Stories. Celebrate Our Community.

If you’re looking for Christmas gifts with meaning, heart, and a touch of local pride, History Redcliffe has you covered. This festive season, surprise the history-lovers, long-time locals, and curious newcomers in your life with a gift that celebrates our peninsula’s rich past.

From beautifully researched local histories to fascinating tales of the people and events that shaped our community, History Redcliffe’s range of publications makes perfect summer reading. Whether your loved one grew up here or has only recently discovered the peninsula, our books offer the perfect blend of nostalgia, storytelling and local insight.

For the collectors (or those who simply love a unique memento), our limited-edition medallions are a standout gift. Designed by local artist, Shea Charlish, and Australian-made at the Perth Mint, each piece celebrates an important chapter of Redcliffe’s past. They’re ideal for display, gifting to local history buffs, or passing down as a meaningful family keepsake.
