MEET US at the bus stop adjacent to the To Be Thai restaurant, 92 Merthyr Rd. This is the starting point for a 90-minute walk which will focus on Moray Street, and also take in Merthyr Rd and Bowen Tce in New Farm.

Moray Street was likely named by George Raff, a Scot from Morayshire. In the 1860s it would have been but a dusty track running past his homestead Moraybank, which was once beside the intersection with Merthyr Road.

You will enjoy locations which are particularly rich in social and architectural history. We will pause before spots such as Linden, the Knells, Julius St, the Moreton Club, and Casa del Mar, before taking in the panorama of the Story Bridge.

By the time we return to Merthyr Village, morning tea will have been very well-earned.

Your tour guide will be Gerard Benjamin, author of three highly-informative books about New Farm, including the current best-seller, New Farm: 50 Stories.

In the spirit of considering the 2025 National Reconciliation Week (NRW) theme, Bridging Now to Next, which reflects the ongoing connection between past, present and future, please join UQ Anthropology Museum staff for a guided tour of Stories through time: Living cultures, enduring connections

Various tours available throughout the week, subject to numbers.

Generations of Indigenous Australian and Pacific peoples have worked to preserve and celebrate cultural continuity through making, sharing and documenting the everyday objects and practices of Country and Custom.

Over the past seventy-five years thousands of objects have made their way into the Anthropology Museum’s custodianship. The Museum has been a place for critical discourse and this exhibition celebrates the collaborative relationships forged between Indigenous and non-Indigenous producers and scholars.

Since the 1950s makers, storytellers and knowledge holders have connected with their material culture in the collection, to re-imagine cultural continuity for future generations. This exhibition presents key collections which contain and convey some of these deeply significant social, spiritual and economic ties.

This public program is held in conjunction with National Reconciliation Week, as we value and celebrate the uniqueness of knowledges, culture, histories and languages that have been created and shared for millennia.
