The history of Fort Lytton covers Queensland, Australian and World history from the 1870’s to the 1960’s.
This fully participatory educational programmebrings to life this ninety-year period of time; making the various eras and events that shaped them comprehensible to all students.
Students learn about the defenders of the past in a fictional drama. Through encounters with actors in-role, they may well find themselves becoming “defenders of the past” as they address the question: why is history important?
Defenders of the Past is a half-day participatoryprogramme for students of all year levels. It provides professional actors working in-role and an exploration of the fortifications in Fort Lytton National Park.
