On the Heights Exhibition
Adventurous spirit of the Sunshine Coast | 12 Dec-29 Mar | Landsborough Museum
Discover the adventurous spirit of the Sunshine Coast at On the Heights, a captivating joint exhibition presented by Landsborough Museum and Bankfoot House Heritage Precinct.
Step back to the early 1900s, when rock climbers faced sheer stone walls armed with nothing more than hemp ropes, grit, and determination. Marvel at the breathtaking, vertigo-inducing photographs captured by A. A. “Bert” Salmon and his contemporaries, who shaped the world of climbing in the 1920s.
Through Bert’s lens, we witness the transformation of climbing from a daring pursuit for the few into a vibrant community united by adventure, camaraderie, and change.
Curated by climber and historian Michael Meadows, On the Heights invites you to explore the stories, images, and spirit that elevated a pastime into a cultural movement.
