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

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.

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

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.

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

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

Join us for a short walk and relive the first epic battle involving Australian forces with Ian Jempson, CEO, Queensland Maritime Museum. 100 years ago the HMAS Sydney was one of the naval escorts for the first convoy carrying Australian and New Zealand soldiers to the Middle East and ultimately Gallipoli. On that morning the German cruiser Emden attacked the wireless station on Cocos Island, 80km east of the convoy.

The Mayne Effect tells the story of the infamous butcher of Brisbane.

150 years ago Patrick Mayne confessed to a gruesome murder that shocked his town and devastated his children. Two of the children descended into madness, whilst the others fought most of their lives to clear the family name. This is their story.

Throughout the year cannons are fired and we have regular tours of the fortifications. Check our website for the next cannon firing date.

Before WWI, life in our Redlands was very different from life here today. Local historian Peter Ludlow will recall life as it was then, and how it changed as the result of the war. Like all other communities in Australia, our young men flocked to enlist in the AIF and to experience their ‘great adventure’. How soon it was to change for them in the hell of Gallipoli and the Western Front. Bookings are required.

During WWI over eight million animals died as a result of the war. Over 130,000 horses left Australia, of which only one has ever returned. Other animals used by the AIF, such as pigeons, dogs, mules, camels and donkeys, suffered the same fate. Lest we forget our four legged diggers served too. Australian War Animal Memorial organisation is a not for profit organisation promoting the placement of dedications to Animals who have served their country.

In Their Own Words – Letters From the Front

Presented by Grand Shirl’s Doll and Toy Museum

Presented by NTAQ, Brennan & Geraghty’s Store Museum

Presented by Maryborough Wide Bay & Burnett Historical Society Inc.

Take a step back in time and see alluring antique dolls and toys from the 1800s, including clockwork toys, unusual salt and pepper sets and a rare Holden Pedal Car made in 1944. There are hundreds of items on display, including a collection of beautiful french dolls – all waiting to welcome you. Bookings are required.

The historic mansion, Baddow House, built for Edgar and Maria Aldridge in 1883, is open for viewing. Built by one of the founders of Maryborough, Baddow House has been restored as a family home. This important Maryborough home is the third and grandest built for Aldridge and is a reflection of the wealth that he created in a fledgling township. Maryborough became an important agricultural region with the first trial crops of sugar cane being planted in the gardens at Baddow House.

Researched from the Maryborough Chronicles, ‘In Their Own Words – Letters from the Front’ takes extracts from the book of the same title published for the Centenary of WWI. Letters from Diggers to home were published at the time and shared with the local community. These letters give a fascinating insight into how stories of war activities were softened for those at home. Some of the Diggers made it home – some didn’t.

This exhibition focuses on the struggles faced because of shortages during war time. Brennan and Geraghty’s Store traded for 101 years and served the community of Maryborough during both World Wars.

Fragile trading records from these periods help tell us about life on the home-front and the difficulties of surviving everyday life.

In this practical workshop, Museum curator May Abernethy will guide you through the process of constructing enclosures and archival quality boxes for your precious photographs, documents and books. No experience is necessary.
