To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the LEGO brick in Australia and as part of the ongoing Festival of Play activities, Creating History has been launched.

Aussies are invited to reinvent the past in a fun and playful way by choosing their favourite moment from the last 50 years to be recreated using LEGO Minifigures. These will then be photographed by esteemed British photographer Mike Stimpson and unveiled in an exciting online exhibition for everyone to enjoy at LEGOfestival.com.au.
