Trovin

Crawling through Trove for some more inspiration and ideas. I started off looking in the maps section, to see if there was anything I found particularly interesting. I wanted to get away from a historical / educational theme and figured that maps of some areas from older time periods could still be useful for tourism.

Maybe hidden on old maps of Brisbane or Queensland there were some hidden gems that people had forgotten about or did not know about at all. After looking at the Official guide book to the capital of queensland it seemed that not a lot had really changed, maybe just the names of things were different. But there were still day trips and getaways to places. With this style of data perhaps a retro tourism website could be created?

Alternatively my search through trove also took me to looking at tourism posters for Queensland.

While these posters themselves might not be the most appropriate they appear to be the right shape for playing cards. Which got me thinking that some sort of memory game or even a pairs game might be a good way to show some of the more interesting art works or posters that are on trove.
