Journeys tells the stories of why people came here, the journeys they took and what their life was like once they had arrived.
They came for many reasons, including the abundance of natural resources, the chance to start afresh, and to seek refuge.
Some were transported as convicts or in service of their country.
The journeys people took were varied and at times were fraught with danger, from shipwrecks to natural disasters and disease.
Exhibition developed by City of Moreton Bay.
