Brisbanite History Buffs

Welcome to the Brisbanite History Buffs, where we dive deep into the rich history of our charming city—armed with a questionable amount of trivia and enough enthusiasm to fill an old-fashioned pub! We will host monthly meet-ups that range from discussions about the classic Queenslander architecture to the astonishing fact that we’ve had more than our fair share of floods without needing to build an ark. With relish, we uncover hidden anecdotes and knowledge from yesteryears, but remember folks, the historical context doesn’t make your weekend plans any less tragic. Join us on a quest to decipher how Brisbane transformed from a humble convict settlement into a dazzling cultural oasis, while constantly dodging the baffling question: ‘Can you really trust a city that has this many rain days?’
