Toowong History Group Books
In the year 2000 the Toowong History Group was formed to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the short-lived Toowong Town (1903-1925). The Group wanted to record local memories before they were lost, and surface more historical stories. It resulted in the production of our first book:
Toowong: A Community’s History
Toowong: A Community’s History was launched in 2003 to coincide with, and celebrate, the Centenary of Toowong.
Toowong: Tales of Toowong and early Brisbane
Toowong: Tales of Toowong and early Brisbane contains edited transcripts of talks on Queensland and local history, given by amateur and professional historians to Toowong History Group. Many of the images presented in the talks have been included.
Toowong: 1863 – 2011
This book has three parts, with over 100 pages:
- Toowong - The early years from 1863
- Toowong - School days from the 1950s to the 1980s
- Toowong - Stories from its two memorial parks
