The Canberra Air Disaster: political and military impact and unfortunate controversy surrounding it.

Bookings essential by Friday 14 August: [email protected]

A Hudson bomber coming in to land at Canberra Aerodrome in August 1940 crashed and killed all 10 on board- 4 RAAF staff, Chief of the General Staff and half of the War Cabinet. This event had huge political and military impacts and spawned a controversy about who was responsible for the crash, for which the RAAF pilot was condemned.

From Coquimbo to the Tuggeranong Valley: Chilean Migration and the Landscapes that connected them.
This talk explores the journeys of Chilean migrants to Australia in the 19th century.
Fernando will be tracing connections between mining landscapes, land systems and labour across the Pacific, moving from Coquimbo in Chile to Burra, South Australia and into the pastoral estates of Lanyon and Tuggeranong. Expanding on his talk from last year at Tuggeranong, Fernando will introduce new material about the Chilean migrants, why they left their homeland and what they came to do. (He also has a beautiful love story about one of the Chileans who stayed in Burra.)

Bookings essential by Wednesday 29 May via [email protected].

$25 entry fee (cash only please, payable at the door). This includes a delicious Devonshire tea after the talk. There will also be local jams and preserves on sale, and a selection of local books and cards.

MOTH invites you to Remembrance: a tribute to six musicians who served in and survived the Great War, an afternoon of story, music and reflection on Sunday 1st Feb, 2-4pm

Acclaimed violist Robert Harris presents a commentary with musical interludes and imagery about six leading composers who served in yet survived the First World War - Ralph Vaughan Williams, Fritz Kreisler, Maurice Ravel, Percy Grainger, Arthur Benjamin and Paul Hindemith. Their familiar popular melodies include Greensleeves, Van Dieman’s Land, Love’s Sorrow, Bolero, English Country Gardens, Londonderry Air/Danny Boy, Jamaican Rumba and more. Surprising tales commemorate but also celebrate these composers, while acknowledging other composers who served - many not surviving. Mention of ‘War Poets’ and ‘War Artists’ allow literary parallels to C E W Bean’s service during and following the war, and to the contemporaneous world of Tuggeranong.

Entry cost of $25 includes a delicious Devonshire Tea after the presentation (cash only, pay at the door).

Bookings essential by Jan 28 to Jenny Horsfield on [email protected]
