A thought-provoking account of the impact of global events on a rural community, as revealed by a remarkable collection of letters spanning 40 years, exchanged between a family of free settlers in New South Wales and those who remained in England. The talk will invite attendees to test their own knowledge of history and highlight uncanny parallels between current world events and the constant struggle to survive in the 19th century.
