Forthcoming Activities

The first Magical History Tour for 2011 was an all-day boat trip from Rosslyn Bay Harbour on the Freedom Fast cat, heading south as far as Port Alma and visiting sites of historic interest such as the cemetery, quarantine station and lighthouse at Curtis Island, and the old port of Broadmount in the Fitzroy River. More than 100 people enjoyed the adventure.

Interest in this trip was so strong that a waiting list for a possible second trip has been created. If you would like to join us next time, put your name on the waiting list now. Email the Society

Planning for a different trip later in the year is underway.

 
After almost two years in temporary premises, the CCHS is looking forward to returning later this year to its comfortable home in the Bunker at the rear of the new Yeppoon Town Hall. Once we have a firm date for the homecoming, a celebration will be finalized to mark the important occasion.
 
Did you miss our historic photos calendar for 2011? This pictorial record of our heritage sold out within a month of release. A 2012 calendar with different images is in the planning stage and will be available from late November.
 

The CCHS book publishing program has slowed down but we are working on another title due out later this year. Have you read last year’s release: “A K Findlay sells it; the story of the Findlay Family of Yeppoon”? Details of publications available can be found on our Publications web page
