Anzac Square: Development and Anzac Centenary Refurbishment

Half-day Seminar brought to you by the Brisbane History Group.

The first part of our seminar will look at the dealings between Queensland and the Commonwealth over the idea of a memorial in Brisbane to honour those Queenslanders who had fallen in the Great War, as well as the Queensland women’s war memorial and the battalion memorials in the crypt. The second part will discuss the recent renovations of the square to mark the centenary of the end of that war. The final presentation of the day will examine the South Brisbane City Council’s proposal for a memorial.

Presenters include:

  • Paul Sayer  Anzac Square: Trials and tribulations
  • Judith McKay  ‘They are forever sacred’: Anzac Square’s memorials to the Great War
  • Andrew Craig  Anzac Square: A resurrection
  • Megan Jones  Making and remaking Anzac Square
  • Bill Metcalf  South Brisbane Memorial Park: A memorial to what?

Bookings essential via Eventbrite, or contact Paul Sayer 3397 2020.
