Our Pioneering Families

The Scenic Rim’s history is intrinsically linked to a number of inspiring, innovative and charismatic pioneers including filmmakers, authors, environmentalists, adventurers, political activists and amazing heroes.

Their discoveries and efforts have helped make the Scenic Rim the region that it is today.

In 2009 the Scenic Rim Regional Council interviewed family members of these local pioneers. Their stories are told here.

The
 Scenic Rim Regional Council would like to extend a special thanks to all who were interviewed and graciously offered us their personal reflections, insights, cherished memories and time.
