LAUNCH OF THE FOUNDING FAMILIES CD AND BOOK
The release of the CD took place at 9.30am on Friday the 7 August at Newstead House.
Denver Beanland, the then President of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland, launched
the product for the Society. Unfortunately because of the restrictions imposed by the Trustees of Newstead House, attendance
was limited to those officially invited.
