Grassroots to Glory

By Sonia Isaacs

The Sunshine Coast’s rich sporting heritage has taken centre field in a dynamic new display, Bounce! A Grassroots to Glory exhibition, which was officially opened on Friday, June 6 at the Landsborough Museum.

Division 1 Councillor Jenny Broderick, who launched the exhibition, said many of the items on display had been generously loaned by the local community.

“This exhibition wouldn’t have been possible without our local community kindly sharing their prized memorabilia,” Cr Broderick said.

“These items offer a deeply personal and authentic glimpse into our region’s sporting past.”

Part of the ongoing Grassroots to Glory series leading up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, this year’s exhibition celebrates the region’s passion for ball sports – from backyard games to international glory.
