Festivals and celebrations

From 2004 to 2014 Alf Wilson travelled to many places of Queensland taking photos including the coastal communities of Palm Island, Townsville, Cairns and Cooktown.

In 2008 photographer Hamish Cairns was visited Doomadgee in far North Queensland as a guest and photographer. He returned a number of times, forming a strong bond with the community.

The series of black and white photographs taken between 1989 and 1990 document two journeys through the remote towns of Quilpie, Windorah, Betoota on the way to the Birdsville races.

Each year over 6 days and nights, the Woodford Folk Festival lures people from all over Queensland to experience a wide range of performance styles and musical genres at more than 35 venues.

This extensive collection records experiences of community life on Badu Island in the Torres Strait and later in Wujal Wujal during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Every two years when the season is perfect, Chinchilla and district come together to celebrate all things red, green and watermelon in flavour.
