SUMMARY:ROSS MCMULLIN ON "LIFE SO FULL OF PROMISE"
DESCRIPTION:An event with Ross McMullin is always much anticipated.  Ross is an award-winning historian and biographer\, a renowned storyteller\, an entertaining speaker\, and a longstanding RHSV member. \nHis multi-biography Farewell\, Dear People was awarded the Prime Minister’s Prize for Australian History\, and in his new sequel Life So Full of Promise\, Ross has again combined prodigious research and narrative flair in a collection of interwoven family stories about forgotten Australians who had radiant potential. \nThe rich cast of characters in Life So Full of Promise includes a popular doctor\, a brilliant cricketer (Ross played first-grade District cricket in Melbourne)\, and an exceptionally talented barrister who was a potential prime minister. \nWith their families and friends also conspicuous in the narratives\, Life So Full of Promise is a revealing window into this defining era for Australia. It illuminates what the war was like at home and at the sharp end. Life So Full of Promise emulates Farewell\, Dear People in providing insights into the experiences of Australians before\, during and after the war\, whether they were combatants or civilians\, or soldiers’ wives or parents.                                            \nLife So Full of Promise has been shortlisted for the Mark & Evette Moran Nib Literary Award. Barry Jones reviewed the book in The Age: “His scholarship is impeccable\, he writes like an angel … and his narrative gift is Blaineyesque”. \nRoss’s books\, including Life so Full of Promise\, are available through the RHSV bookshop. \nhttps://rossmcmullin.com.au \n  \nHousekeeping \nThis event will be hybrid – both delivered in person at the RHSV’s Drill Hall home and via Zoom. For those booking Zoom tickets\, the log-in details will be sent to you 24 hours prior to the event. \nFrom 5:30pm to 6pm\, as with most RHSV events\, we’ll be serving refreshments before the lecture starts at 6pm. \nAn automatic confirmation email is sent to you on booking – please check your Spam or Junk Mail in-box as these emails often go astray.

SUMMARY:A Night with Elizabeth Macarthur: Hidden Figure in Australian History
DESCRIPTION:🐑 A Night with Elizabeth Macarthur: Hidden Figure in Australian History \nDo you enjoy finding out about people history has hidden? So does Michelle Scott Tucker. \nShe is the author of Elizabeth Macarthur: A Life at the Edge of the World – an engaging yet meticulously researched biography of the woman who established the Australian wool industry\, even though her husband got all the credit (Text Publishing 2018). Michelle is also the co-writer\, with Torres Strait Islander actor and film producer Aaron Fa’Aoso\, of Aaron’s memoir So Far\, So Good (Pantera Publishing 2022). \nMichelle is renowned as an entertaining and informative speaker. She will talk to us about who Elizabeth was\, what she did and why she should be far more well-known as an important Australian historical figure.
