Unearth the Past

Every time we offer a tour through Redcliffe Cemetery we get one of two responses:

  1. I attended it and it was a fantastic event. When is the next one? I can’t wait to go again!
  2. I missed getting a ticket and I’m sorry I didn’t go.

Our next tour will be 9am-11am on 8th May. Don’t be one of those sorry souls who misses out!

Secure your ticket today by booking here and be treated to stories of Redcliffe’s unearthed public figures. Places are limited so don’t delay!

Morning tea is included. We suggest you wear comfortable shoes for walking and don’t forget to bring a hat and water.

2024 Update

In mid-September 1824, Lieutenant Henry Miller landed the brig, Amity, on the shores of Redcliffe Peninsula in the Gubbi Gubbi nation and established the First European Settlement in Queensland.

We are currently planning the ways in which we will mark the 200th anniversary of this historic event.

History Redcliffe is proud to be working with the Royal Historical Society of Queensland and Bribie Island Historical Society to present a one day conference on Saturday 7th September 2024 to commemorate the bicentenary of the Moreton Bay penal colony.

History Redcliffe is also planning an event for the following Saturday (14th September 2024). This will be a family-friendly event taking place in the Redcliffe Museum precinct. More details will be available as planning is well underway.
