Finalists

Miles Historical Village Museum
What War Meant to Miles – Heroes, Hardships and Heartfelt Stories

In 2018 Redland Art Gallery (RAG) celebrated its 15th Birthday through year-long programs and events across the Redlands Coast.

What War Meant to Miles – Heroes, Hardships and Heartfelt Stories involved the reinterpretation and redisplay of the Museum’s wartime collection, including World War 1 and other wars of service; and the trials and tribulations experienced at home and abroad during times of conflict. 

The project was a staged process of cataloguing, digitisation, research, community engagement, documentation, concept and detailed design, fabrication and installation. It has inspired local audiences and generated a great sense of pride.

From the Mountains to the Sea; Sunshine Coast Stories

Did you know that the name ‘Sunshine Coast’ was launched in December 1958 at the inaugural dinner of the Sunshine Coast Branch of the Real Estate Institute of Queensland?

To commemorate this milestone, Sunshine Coast Council’s Heritage Services team partnered with the University of the Sunshine Coast to present From the Mountains to the Sea; Sunshine Coast Stories. This remarkable exhibition showcased items sourced from twenty-eight lenders, including museums, local businesses, tourist operators and private collectors, to celebrate the region’s history and explore the amazing path the region has taken in becoming one of Australia’s highly desired places to live.
