18 APRIL – 18 MAY2015

The National Trust of Australia (Queensland) is proud to be presenting the 2015 Heritage Festival.

This year’s national theme ‘Conflict and Compassion’ recognises many important aspects of our history but this year focuses on stories of people in wartime, as we acknowledge the centenary of the ANZAC landings at Gallipoli.

While many of this year’s events uncover fascinating aspects of our wartime history, there are many other stories to discover within this theme about our Indigenous heritage, hospitals and nurses and cemeteries, just to

name a few. There are also events linked to railway history as we celebrate 150 years of rail travel in Queensland.

In all, the Heritage Festival is about stories of people - ordinary people, doing extraordinary things.

I thank all the participants, many of whom are volunteers, for hosting an activity in this year’s Festival. It is inspiring to see so many events in regional Queensland this year.

We encourage all Queenslanders to get involved in our Heritage Festival by taking part in some of these many special activities and learning more

about how our identity and heritage have been shaped by conflict and compassion.

We are again very pleased to be linking our Heritage Festival to the Australian Government’s Australian Heritage Week celebrations and thank the Australian Government for continuing to support the National Trust’s Heritage Festivals across the nation.

Dr Ian Galloway President National Trust of Australia (Queensland)

Australian Heritage Week is held from Saturday 11 April to

Sunday 19 April 2015. This national event is an

opportunity for communities to come together and celebrate

the places and stories that makes Australia special.
