Post-conference excursions
Two excursions are on offer for conference attendees and their friends on Sunday 13 October.
Tours depart and return to the State Library of Queensland bus stop, Stanley Place, South Brisbane.
Interpretive bus trip to Logan City
08:00-16:00 – Cost $65 – Places limited to 30.
Depart and return to the State Library of Queensland bus stop.
The ‘set’ is a bus moving around the landscape of Logan City, which is the ‘stage’. Place names are the ‘characters’. As we travel south to Logan, we explore the mechanics of colonisation, experiencing a variety of voices and interpretations.
The bus driver, Greg Manning, has developed an Oral History Compass (below, right) as a story-telling tool. Each of the 16 points of the compass are based on the themes of the questions that Sir Joseph Banks was asked subsequent to his voyage with Cook on the Endeavour. (Public Records Office London. Home Office 107/1 “A Second Report form the Committee of Enquiry into Transportation”. 10 May 1785.)
These compass point words are designed to activate discussion about the place names around and within the Logan landscape. This place name vocabulary points simultaneously to experiences of resistance and survival in the Countries of the Yuggera, Yuggerabul and Yugambeh-speaking people, and in the Asian sub-continent, now India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.
Destinations include the Eagleby Wetlands, Tamborine and the Veresdale Hotel. Morning tea and lunch provided.
Greg Manning is a Brisbane-based bus driver and concept artist who is exploring the relationship between spoken language, which includes combinations of place names, and the shared identity of diverse populations.
Oral History Queensland successfully applied for a grant from the Logan City Council Regional Arts Development Fund program to develop an interpretive bus trip exploring Logan.
The Regional Arts Development Fund is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Logan City Council to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.
Bus trip to Djarranggaree / North Stradbroke Island
07:30-17:00 – Cost $85 – Places limited to 25.
