Zoom Bookclub: Richard Broome’s Aboriginal Victorians

RHSV, Gordon Moffatt Room 239 A'Beckett St, Melbourne, VIC, Australia

Although our book club is very new we have set an extremely high bar in that we've had great discussions with the authors every time. And June will be no different. Our choice for June is Richard Broome's Aboriginal Victorians and we are delighted that Richard has agreed to join us. This book is a fascinating and sometimes horrifying story of Aborigines in Victoria since white settlement, from one of Australia's leading historians. Early settlers saw Victoria and its rolling grasslands as Australia felix happy south land a prize left for Englishmen by God. However, for its original inhabitants this country was home and life, not to be relinquished without a fierce struggle.

Book Club with Robyn Annear. Nothing New.

ZOOM Join from anywhere in the world

Upholders, shoddy, Petticoat Lane, fripperers - Nothing New opens up a wonderful world that, despite our love-affair with op-shops, is all but hidden from us in today's world of consumerism and obsolescence. Join the wonderful Robyn Annear when she talks about Nothing New, her latest book, which chronicles the history of second-hand trade across the world and down the ages (Jesus' clothes would have been divided up among the soldiers guarding the crosses as their perquisite or perk as we'd say today). We are asking those that join bookclub to bring their own favourite story of an op-shop find or hand-me-down.
