SUMMARY:London’s Lost Department Stores - Special Interest Morning
DESCRIPTION:Social historian Tessa Boase explores the fabulous world of London’s lost department stores. \nTwo one-hour talks around a delicious morning tea. \nLondon’s department stores were far more than shops. By the late 19th century\, they were destinations. Where else would you find a ‘reading room for husbands’ (Selfridges)? A crèche with giant toadstools (D.H Evans)? A service to clean and repair your entire winter wardrobe (Bradleys)? This wonderfully nostalgic and captivating day will take you on a sensory\, highly immersive journey backwards in time. We’ll be making stops at:\ni. The West End\, guided by Edwardian shopping lady Olivia (author of ‘A Prejudiced Guide to the Shops’)\, seeking out the latest ‘temples of desire’.\nii. The flirty Thirties and its fabulous Deco department stores\, from roof gardens to curved glass walls\, Coronation fever to marketing stunts. \nDates and Locations \nWednesday 19 August 2026 Molonglo Plains (ACT / NSW) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.

SUMMARY:A Photographic Odyssey: Shackleton's 'Endurance' Expedition Captured On Camera
DESCRIPTION:On Ernest Shackleton’s third Antarctic expedition in 1914\, his ship\, the Endurance\, was trapped\, eventually crushed in pack ice. After five months on the ice\, the ship’s company rowed to remote Elephant Island. Shackleton then sailed with five companions over 800 miles to South Georgia\, returning over three months later to rescue his stranded crew. Australian Frank Hurley was the expedition’s official photographer. His images capture with great artistry the amazing landscapes within which this remarkable human drama unfolded. This lecture illustrates Hurley’s great talent behind the lens\, in the first flush of human contact when the Antarctic remained essentially ‘terra incognita’. \nDates and Locations \nThursday 13 August 2026 Shoalhaven (NSW) \nMonday 17 August 2026 Narrabri (NSW) \nTuesday 18 August 2026 Scone (NSW) \nWednesday​ 19 August 2026 Tamworth (NSW) \nMonday 31 August 2026 Coffs Coast (NSW) \nClick on the location above for more details and to book tickets.
