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.

However, for its original inhabitants this country was home and life, not to be relinquished without a fierce struggle.
