HOLIDAYS on the Sunshine Coast looked a little different pre-1990!
Maybe it was the fashions, knitted bathers in the ‘50s and flares in the ‘70s; the freedom, kids staying out until dark and coming back when hungry, group rides to the beach in your mate’s Holden ute or riding on a surf mat that gave you the most painful of rashes.
All these great memories are going to come flooding back as the community is invited to dust off family snaps from these golden eras of Sunshine Coast holidays and get them ready for the annual Sunshine Coast Heritage Calendar competition.
The 2024 theme is is ‘Happy Snaps, holiday times on the Sunshine Coast’ so we’re calling for your camping, chilling at the beach, sailing and fishing trip photos from days gone by.
Sunshine Coast Coordinator of Heritage Services Peter Connell said the photos needed to be from 1990 or earlier to be considered for the Calendar. Entries close Monday, August 14, at 5pm. Visit heritage.sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au
