Are there any meetings like this in Sydney. Would be interesting to attend and listen to.

Sir Edward "Weary" Dunlop was an outstanding man.

Hi Ian,

You could try contacting your local library to see if they could arrange an event with a Sydney historian. I think the speaker Valda Street most likely lives in Victoria.

Thanks for your interest.
