Beach history and Australian stories
There are permanent displays featuring a snap shot of early coastal life, with fashionable swimwear from years gone by. Check out the visitors’ visas and passports that were once issued to visitors to the ‘Republic of Bribie Island’ and other relics from the early 1900’s.
The Museum displays a small model replica of The Norfolk captained by Matthew Flinders during his 1799 circumnavigation, the first of Australia. Its local significance is highlighted by a narration of Matthew Flinders interaction with the local Indigenous community upon arriving on Bribie Island. The display describes the local indigenous culture with information about early life, their bush skills, and interactions with early white settlers.
