Becoming Queensland,
a virtual exhibition looking at our state's first 50 years, through stories about the people, places, institutions and lifestyles that have made it so special.
Hope
Queensland was created from the hopes of hundreds and thousands of people who moved here seeking a better life.
Taking shape
Queensland was aptly named. It was to be a little Britain. But once the new state was proclaimed everything took on a local flavour.
Queensland style
We often hear the slogan “Queensland style”. But what is it and where does it come from?
Turning 50
Milestones like Queensland’s Jubilee anniversary in 1909 are occasions for reflection and commemoration. In hindsight they can teach us a lot about what people valued at the time.
