August meeting

Join us at the next History Redcliffe meeting at 2pm Friday, 7 August at Redcliffe Library Meeting Room, for a fascinating presentation by Dr Torill Pape: An Engineering Investigation of the Hornibrook Bridge.

Whether you have fond memories of crossing the “humpy-bumpy” bridge, an interest in local history, or simply enjoy discovering the stories behind remarkable feats of engineering, this presentation promises to offer unique insights into this much-loved Redcliffe and, indeed, Queensland icon.

Everyone is welcome. We look forward to seeing you on 7 August for another enjoyable afternoon of local history.
