Give a little Redcliffe History this Christmas…

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:

  • Invitations to events and talks
  • The latest news on projects and research
  • Opportunities to connect with like-minded locals
  • The joy of supporting a volunteer organisation dedicated to preserving our shared history

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.

Drop by the Redcliffe museum, visit our website, or get in touch to purchase books, medallions, and memberships. Give a gift with meaning this Christmas — give the gift of Redcliffe’s history.

Fathers Day

Fathers Day is fast approaching and we’ve got some great gift ideas for you!

Why not give Dad (or Grandad) our latest publication, Memories of Margate? This beautiful book  investigates significant events in Margate’s history beginning with the first government land sales in the 1860s, early landowners, and the gradual development of the area that would one day become the suburb of Margate. Maps and photographs are used to illustrate a story enlivened by oral histories of former and present day residents.

Or head over to our Shop and check out our other publications available for purchase.

Alternatively, give him a gift of membership! What a great way to get support our local history and make new friends in the process!
