Thread: Brisbane Wooden Boat Events

Howdy Fair Dink,

I thought this was important enough to create a permanent thread for things that are happening in Brissie (Brisso as some say).

50 boats at the Maritime Museum sounds like a fantastic event!!!! Wish I could be there!

Is there an echo in here?


DO you have a date & an address FD?

Hi Cliff,

Don't hold me to this, but I believe the first weekend of the school holidays was being canvassed, making it the 20/21 Sept.

I'll post a confirmation closer to the event.

And the address too please.

Hi Cliff,

The museum is at Southbank Parklands, the very eastern end, off Sidon St.

If you take the Goodwill (pedestrian) bridge from Gardens Point (Queensland Institute of Technology) you will walk above the grounds.

Other public events the WBAQ are involved in this year are;

19/20 July Coochimudlo Island Historical Society commemorate the landing of Matthew Flinders on Norfolk Beach. WBAQ members will be present in some 'Messabout' type activities, including a sailpast on the Sunday.

9/10 August Caloundra Classic Boat Regatta, organised by Australian Volunteer Coats Guard Association- Queensland Floatilla 4.

There is always a good turnout of WBAQ members present.

Hope this helps.
