Sands of Time Conference

History Redcliffe proudly hosted the 4th Queensland State Local and Family History Conference with History Queensland. This year’s conference was called Sands of Time. It was held at the Dolphins Leagues Club from 21st to 23rd October 2022 and was a resounding success!

The conference website https://sandsoftime.org.au/ will remain available for a short time and then be accessible via the Wayback Machine.

$Opened in 1925, Anzac Memorial Avenue (as it was originally named) is the longest World War I memorial avenue in Queensland, spanning a distance of some nearly 18kms. Notably, it was the first bitumen motor road connecting Brisbane to Redcliffe. It not only serves a lasting and impressive memorial to the ANZACs but also provided valuable employment to the returned servicemen during the period of its construction. When you travel this road, take a moment to remember the ANZACs. LEST WE FORGET. (Image courtesy of City of Moreton Bay, ref.RLPC-001\001144)$

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.

The Houghton Family has requested that donations be made to History Redcliffe in lieu of flowers. We are honoured and humbled by this request. If you wish to make a donation, our bank details are:
Account Name: Redcliffe Historical Society Inc
