What did global conflict look like on Redlands Coast — and how did it change the people who lived here? From the surprise enlistments of the Second Boer War, when Queenslanders were sought out for the rugged bush skills that made them ideal Imperial Bushmen, to the upheavals of WWI and WWII, our region holds its own stories of duty, division, resilience and loss.
Who were the first to answer the call? How did propaganda shape a community already bracing for war?
Join the Local History team as we uncover the personal stories, local mysteries and quiet acts of courage that shaped our region through three defining conflicts — and discover the memorials, memories and legacies that still echo across Redlands Coast today.
