Bounce, sprint, and spirit: three stories of Sunshine Coast sport history
Historian In Residence 2025
Bounce explores how Sunshine Coast locals have historically come together in teams for sporting glory across local fields and courts. She will explore the emergence of team ball sports on the Sunshine Coast with the focus on six team ball sports, including: Australian Rules football, basketball, netball, rugby league, rugby union, and soccer. Understanding team sports contributes to understanding of the historical character of the region, particularly in relation to working together with our neighbours for a win.
Read the outcome of Kate Kirby’s Historian in Residence research Bounce coming soon.
