Queensland Icons

During 2004 the National Trust of Queensland invited the people of Queensland to nominate a favourite Queensland Icon for inclusion in the initial list of Queensland Heritage Icons. The plan was to add another 12 Items per year, thus building for all time a comprehensive list of familiar items of significance in the cultural history of the State of Queensland. Items listed will inherently represent an important part of our history or will have contributed to our cultural identify and have won a lasting place in our memories.

36 Queensland Icons have been announced. Queensland Museum South Bank and the National Trust of Queensland, with the support of Bendigo Bank, have joined forces to present the Queensland icons in the National Trust Bendigo Bank Icons of Queensland exhibition. Please visit Queensland Museum website for more details.
