Queensland holds a special place in helping shape Australia’s labour movement and the ongoing legacy of workers’ rights. In the late 19th century, workers were faced with difficult conditions and limited protections. It was in this context that organised labour began to take shape, driven by a collective belief in fairness, opportunity, and reform.
A day of reflection, storytelling, and community as visitors gathered to honour the legacy of the Tree of Knowledge, through the Young Un's 21st Anniversary and launch of Voices Under a Ghost Gum, by Ken Purdham.
Join us this Sunday, 3rd May for an Open Day to celebrate 21 years of the 'Young Un' and the launch of Ken Purdham’s new book, Voices Under a Ghost Gum.
