Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF) is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Moreton Bay Regional Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland. Thank you for allowing a newcomer to start finding her way to the stories of Moreton Bay. When I arrived I discovered I actually lived in the Moreton Bay area, rather than Brisbane, which meant I was eligible for assistance from this fund. I was a successful with a grant application for concept development of a project. Mapping the Stories: Inspiration
I STARTED LOOKING FOR STORIES, BUT REALISED IT WILL TAKE A TEAM TO PULL OFF A PROJECT LIKE THIS. Nonetheless. Moreton Bay has a number of History Museums, historic collections (including State Library of Queenslands John Oxley collection) and more. When people heard what I was up to several referred me to this book, it is availabe online at Gutenberg
Visiting Museums. The Seaside Museum on Bribie Island. Here I am in front of a photo of the Bribie Island Jetty circa 1920. Fabulous adventure and what a view of the Glasshouse Mountains, incredible mystic quality to the Mountains. So many possible stories, what are the important ones. Cook sailed passed naming the Glasshouse Mountains and Matthew Flinders first white explorer to go a shore. Some great stories here thanks to Bribie Island Historical Society. The story that intrigues me is how did it get its name. A kippa making ceremony at Samford Bora GroundOn permanent loan from the Queensland Museum is the diorama of the Samford Aboriginal Bora Ground. Comprehensive information on the advent of the preservation of the Samford Bora Ring by Dr Elizabeth Nesta Marks can be found at link https://www.qut.edu.au/research/why-qut/infrastructure/samford-ecological-research-facility I was immediately intrigued by this display, they are terms I've not heard of. I have a trip planned with Uncle Alan Parsons, a first nations storyteller to start further investigation. I have gathered lots of notes. Of course as you can see it is a place for celebration and corroboree.
