Redcliffe Remembers 1824-2024

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.

History Redcliffe is currently planning the ways in which we will mark the 200th anniversary of this historic event.

Follow us here and on our social media as we approach this milestone.

Redcliffe's first Post Office - a brief history 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. Image 1 - Clontarf Beach Post Office in the converted main entrance of the Clontarf Bathing Pavilion, 1947.  Redcliffe Library Ref # RMPC-100\100126. Pic #1 - A family group fishing off the rocks at Scotts point.  The photographer is looking towards Scotts Point Beach and Margate Beach. Aerial photographs of the Redcliffe Peninsula 1947 and 1994.  Images in the collection at Geosciences Australia. Bridge over Humpybong Creek, Redcliffe Parade, earlier known as the Esplanade. One of our members stumbled upon these 1940 Scarborough pictures in a box of photographs at the State Library of Queensland (SLQ) last week.  They were taken by Lionel Clive Ball, a Queensland Government Geologist.  SLQ says "From 1934, he played a central role in the Aerial, Geological and Geophysical Survey of North Australia, a joint surveying venture of the Queensland, Western Australian and Australian federal governments." Membership renewals are now due, and we warmly invite both current and new members to be part of History Redcliffe for another year. Join us for our June 2026 meeting as we welcome guest speaker Lynne Hooper from Bribie Island Historical Society.
