Event and Ticketing Details
Dates & Times
Wednesday 16 October
6:15 PM - 7:15 PM
Henry Reynolds is one of Australia’s best-known historians, and recipient of countless national awards – most recently the Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Non-Fiction.
His pioneering work The Other Side of the Frontier argued that the settlement of Australia came with a high level of violence and conflict with Aboriginal people, which we have since chosen to ignore.
His new book, Forgotten War, continues the story – and in this special event he will discuss the wars fought on our own soil and why it is important to acknowledge them.
