On March 24, as part of the Message Sticks Festival at the Sydney Opera House, Dictionary of Sydney authors Keith Vincent Smith & John Maynard will be discussing the myths & preconceptions that surround Woollarawarre Bennelong. Dr Smith will be recounting Bennelong's lost years in London, what he saw and how he survived.
It's a free event, and will be fascinating. To book go to the Sydney Opera House site: http://www.sydneyoperahouse.com/whatson/bennelongopera.aspx
