Display Material
Over almost three decades, our group has mounted displays on numerous topics such as: The sinking of the RMSS Quetta in October 1890. Our link with Quetta is through Reuben Nicklin, who, together with his wife, perished when the ship foundered on uncharted rocks in the Torres Strait. Reuben Nicklin lived in Hatherton, now the Queen Alexandra Home Community Centre.
Other displays include Panorama of Brisbane – South of the River, Stones Corner Photographs, Our Community Heritage, Greenslopes and other minor displays.
