'Beyond the limits of location'
Friday 30 March to Sunday 1 April 2012
St Clement's Retreat and Conference Centre, Galong
An event not to be missed!
The 2012 program is announced.
The seminar's title is taken from Galong's location which was outside the nineteen counties when settled by Edward 'Ned' Ryan c1826 and subsequently 'beyond the limits of location' set down in 1829 by Governor Ralph Darling.
Presentations will focus on history and sources for local and family historians and we have been fortunate to have assembled a great line up of speakers who have much to offer - their collective expertise is phenomenal!
This year's keynote speaker is Dr Bill Gammage from the Australian National University who will speak about his revolutionary perspective on the land management techniques of Aborigines. Other presentations will feature aspects of local history and their sources, indigenous culture, education, lost images, authors, biographies and investigating family trees through the use of DNA tempered with verse and the odd song or two. Participants are encouraged to bring 'an object of their affection' to share with others by way of a 3 minute talk - a great way to break the ice and meet people.
It is not all talk either - country hospitality, pre-dinner drinks at sunset, a three course candlelit (a salute to Earth Hour) dinner in an historic house and fabulous music tempered with good company and a sense of fun.
For full details of the seminar featuring a great line up of speakers see the program.
