Victoria has many outstanding world-leading engineering works, but many of these achievements are not well documented, or have been forgotten, and need to be celebrated. Four papers will be presented focussing on the history of some of the significant engineering works in Victoria.

Andrew Lemon is once again going to put us to the test. So, fancy yourself a bit of a history buff? Of course you do! Time to get competitive and pit yourself against all those other history buffs at the RHSV's world-famous Trivia-au-go-go.

Professor Tim Entwisle, Director and Chief Executive, Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria will talk about the history of the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, about what makes a modern botanic garden and about his plans for the Melbourne Gardens which centre around the three pillars of culture, nature and science.

Join us for a very different and very convivial history event. Our hosts, David Dunstan and Ron Leslie, know their wine and their history and will be guiding us through both. A talk by David and a tasting of six wines organised by Ron will be book-ended with some mood-lightening Prosecco.
