Countdown begins to Queensland's 150th anniversary
In 2009, Queensland celebrates its 150th anniversary year of separation from New South Wales. At historic Roma Street Station Premier Anna Bligh announced the start of the 150-day countdown to the sesquicentenary celebrations. It'll be a great year for all Queenslanders to celebrate our people, our places and our stories.
During 2009, the Q150 Train and the corrugated iron Q150 Shed will spread celebratory cheer and goodwill around Queensland. The restored Q150 steam train will travel through 30 cities and towns throughout 2009. The Q150 shed will go to 14 cities and towns where during the day it will be used for workshops for schools, young people and community groups. At night, the shed will feature music performances from Queensland's talented local artists.
