Boondall Wetlands - 1999

The Boondall Wetlands website explored the indigenous and European history of the Wetlands and its significance as a habitat, both locally and internationally. A team of historians, artists, environmentalists and designers collaborated to present a picture of the cultural history and natural beauty of the area.

The Boondall Wetlands Website Project was an initiative of the Cultural Services Section of the Community Development Branch of the Brisbane City Council. The project was made possible through the assistance of the Australia Foundation for Culture and the Humanities
