The Fernvale Community Association is hosting a community event to launch a new book about the town’s past at the Fernvale Lions Centre in Fernvale, Queensland. The book, titled Fernvale Histories, is written by author Julia Caunce and will be officially introduced on 14 March 2026.
The free event will run from 10:30 am until 1:00 pm and is open to everyone in the local area. It will feature a talk by the author, where she will share insights into the local heritage, as well as opportunities to buy the book and enjoy refreshments with neighbours.
This new publication focuses on documenting the historical roots of the region, including its early days as a pastoral settlement and its role in the railway network. The community association aims to use the book to help residents understand the area’s journey from a rural service hub to its current status as a growing residential township.
The launch provides a chance for long-term locals and people who have recently moved to the area to gather and learn about the shared identity of the community. Organisers expect the event to be of interest to local families and anyone with an interest in how the town has changed over the years.
