SUMMARY:Life So Full of Promise
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning historian and biographer of Pompey Elliott\, Ross McMullin\, on his new book. \nRoss is a renowned storyteller and an entertaining speaker. He will regale us with stories from “Life So Full of Promise”\, his second lost generation multi-biography following “Farewell Dear People”\, which won the Prime Minister’s Prize for Australian History. \nRoss’s new book again combines prodigious research and narrative flair in a collection of interwoven family stories about forgotten Australians who had radiant potential. The rich cast of characters includes a popular doctor\, a brilliant cricketer\, and an exceptionally talented barrister who was a potential prime minister. \n“Life So Full of Promise” illuminates what the war was like at home and at the sharp end. It provides insights into the experiences of Australians before\, during and after the war\, whether they were combatants or civilians\, or soldiers’ wives or parents. \nBookings are essential with a gold coin for entry.

SUMMARY:The Dominatrix Next Door
DESCRIPTION:🎭 The Dominatrix Next Door – Mother by day\, Dominatrix by night. \nWhen a cash-strapped single mother of two in suburban Melbourne has a fun idea to start a side hustle running workshops for hens’ parties\, she has no idea it will lead her on a surreal adventure (or twenty) through the debaucherous underground world of kink clubs and swingers’ parties. Nor does she know that it will bring her out on the other end as one of Australia’s most recognised Dominatrixes. \nMistress Jane is the Melbourne-based kinkster\, fetish queen\, sex nerd and mother of two (but not in that order). Whether hosting hens’ parties and club events\, writing\, podcasting\, or running workshops\, she imparts her unique brand of flirtation and female empowerment to everything she touches. \nBookings are essential with a gold coin for entry.

SUMMARY:The Importance of Oral Histories
DESCRIPTION:Want to learn more about the value of oral histories and Council’s heritage collections? \nJoin us at our upcoming event at Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens. \nHistorian Dr Nicolette Snowden will explain how to record oral histories and examine their value in both a community and professional context. Nicolette is an experienced oral historian\, researcher and writer and she is a member of the Professional Historians Association (Victoria and Tasmania) and Oral History Victoria. \nThe program venue\, Benga\, was home to Australia’s first oral history centre. The centre resulted in a collection of recordings and transcripts of more than 300 interviews with a cross-section of people from the city. These oral histories now form part of Council’s Civic and Cultural Heritage Collection. Over the years\, these oral histories have formed the basis of many social history exhibitions and have provided an invaluable research tool for those studying Australia’s cultural heritage. Council’s Heritage Collection Officer will provide attendees with an overview of this important collection. \nThis program is being run in conjunction with the We Built This City exhibition. \nA light afternoon tea will be held following the presentations. \nRegistrations are required as places are limited – https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1311016 \nCost: Free
