RHSV Events

Reg Hunt, motor dealer, racing driver, collector and property investor was one of Melbourne’s best known and successful automobilists during his working life. Maserati historian, enthusiast and long-time friend, David Zeunert, will discuss with Mark Bissett Reg’s life exploits following a light lunch at the Royal Historical Society of Victoria.

Join the curator, Dr Judith Buckrich, of our current exhibition Yarra Birrarung: Artists, Writers and the River in a behind-the-scenes talk about the exhibition. The exhibition is an illustrated history of life on the Yarra. Through the lens of artists and writers, the exhibition explores how life has flourished on the river, including recreation, industry and land use, as well as infrastructure, natural history and social history.

In the context of a major revamp of the Victorian planning system, this seminar asks how we can make positive use of heritage as we plan to house more people. How can we modify Plan Victoria to make full use of heritage as anchor and focus for new neighbourhoods?
