As we enter 2024, History Redcliffe would like to wish you a very Happy New Year!
The year ahead is already shaping up to be a big one for us with milestone events and commemorations. We’d love you to come on the journey with us. Stay tuned to our website and social media for all the news and events that we have to offer.
It is with great regret that we share the sad news of the passing of our dear friend, James Houghton. It was James who, in 1967, placed an advertisement in the Redcliffe Herald asking for a public meeting for anyone interested in starting a group dedicated to the history of Redcliffe. That became the Redcliffe Historical Society, now known as History Redcliffe.
Over the years, his commitment to the Redcliffe community has been unwavering. His dedication to History Redcliffe and his friendship will be greatly missed. Vale James.
