[can-exhibitions] The Main Roads Heritage Centre - Permanent Exhibition

*The Main Roads Heritage Centre *
*Dirt, Dust and the Occasional Big Bang*


To further raise public awareness and to celebrate great pride in its past,
Main Roads is about to open the Main Roads Heritage Centre – a permanent
public exhibition showcasing the story and culture of a department with a
rich history.

Revolving around the Department's message, "*Main Roads - Connecting
Queensland*", the exhibition is presented in layers reminiscent of the
processes involved in building roads and Queensland's road network.

Connecting with different age groups, visitors can absorb information
through various levels of information and methods of transfer. More complex
concepts on the processes involved in road planning, construction and design
is presented to adults and secondary students through texts, images and
audio visual material, while primary and smaller children can 'experience'
aspects relating to roads and road construction through a series of cartoon
characters, hands-on interactive exercises along a children's trail and
images.

The Main Roads Heritage Centre aims to foster connections between
generations by sparking memories and encouraging the sharing of experiences.
Visitors will leave having had an interesting, stimulating and informative
experience.

*How to Get There?*
Follow the signs to Toowoomba Airport; the Centre is located directly
opposite the terminal car park.
