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.

June 2026 meeting

Join us for our June 2026 meeting as we welcome guest speaker Lynne Hooper from Bribie Island Historical Society.

Lynne will present the fascinating story of Emily Coungeau — poet, philanthropist and one of Queensland’s most intriguing historical figures. Her life journey from France to Queensland left a lasting cultural legacy that continues to inspire today.

The meeting will be held on Friday 5th June 2026 from 2pm to 4pm at the Redcliffe Library Meeting Room. Visitors and new members are always welcome to attend and enjoy an afternoon of local history, conversation and community connection.

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!
