Past event

One of Australia’s best-loved writers, Peter FitzSimons brings us insights from new book, A Simpler Time. As one of six kids growing up on a farm near Sydney in the 1960s, he has different take on our modern world. First and foremost this is a tribute to family, a salute to generations past. They were times when praise was understated but love unstinting, when work was hard but people stood by each other in adversity.

Join us at the Wheeler Centre for this special event as the author of the best-selling history books Kokoda and Tobruk, shares his own family story with a dash of his characteristic humour and wit.
