Sponsored by Schickerling Real Estate

Moonee Valley Legends. Corner of Thomas Street & Wilson Street, Moonee Ponds

Join the Essendon Historical Society for a two-course dinner and an engaging evening with Robert Larkins, author of The Personal History of William Buckley: Murrangurk Among the First People.

A British soldier transported to Australia, Buckley escaped custody and lived for more than 30 years among Wathaurong people on the Bellarine Peninsula, learning their language, customs and traditions. When Europeans returned and conflict erupted, he found himself caught between two worlds.

Hear this remarkable story of survival, cultural connection and courage, with copies of Robert’s book available for purchase on the evening.
