Unlock the Past Queensland Expo 2012 will be held from 25th to 27th June at Centenary State High School, 1 Moolanda Street, Jindalee, Brisbane. A program of about 38 presentations in two streams will run almost continuously throughout the Expo. There should be something for everyone. Audrey Collins from The National Archives UK (TNA) is the expert special presenter and she will be supported by experts from Queensland and interstate. There will be a Research Help Zone, Ask an Expert (one on one), prizes and special Expo offers.
The venue is readily accessed from most directions via motorways and main highways, and also by bus. Free parking on school grounds with only a short walk to expo facilities. There will be a canteen for refreshments and lunches.
This is the first time this event has been held in Brisbane and a wonderful opportunity not to be missed. Event details and Bookings click here
