Merry Christmas from History Redcliffe!
Wishing our wonderful community a joyful, peaceful Christmas and a New Year filled with curiosity, connection, and the sharing of our local stories. Thank you for your support in preserving Redcliffe’s past — we look forward to uncovering and making more history together in the year ahead.
Support Local. Share the Stories. Celebrate Our Community.
If you’re looking for Christmas gifts with meaning, heart, and a touch of local pride, History Redcliffe has you covered. This festive season, surprise the history-lovers, long-time locals, and curious newcomers in your life with a gift that celebrates our peninsula’s rich past.
From beautifully researched local histories to fascinating tales of the people and events that shaped our community, History Redcliffe’s range of publications makes perfect summer reading. Whether your loved one grew up here or has only recently discovered the peninsula, our books offer the perfect blend of nostalgia, storytelling and local insight.
For the collectors (or those who simply love a unique memento), our limited-edition medallions are a standout gift. Designed by local artist, Shea Charlish, and Australian-made at the Perth Mint, each piece celebrates an important chapter of Redcliffe’s past. They’re ideal for display, gifting to local history buffs, or passing down as a meaningful family keepsake.
If you’d like to give something that continues well beyond the festive season, consider a History Redcliffe membership. Members enjoy:
It’s a thoughtful, personal gift for anyone who loves community, heritage, and lifelong learning.
By choosing a History Redcliffe gift this Christmas, you’re not just ticking items off your shopping list — you’re helping to preserve the stories that make our peninsula special.

Join us for our next meeting on Friday 7th November at 2pm in the meeting room at the Redcliffe Library. Come along and meet the lovely History Redcliffe members.
This month we are sharing the exciting Indexing Project. We are indexing all History Redcliffe newsletters so that our local history is easily accessible for everyone.
We’re also taking a drive down memory lane…or more specifically, Anzac Memorial Avenue. It is nearly 100 years since it was officially opened.
Come along and join us. Everyone is welcome !
