Join Michael Waterhouse as he discusses an important but little known period in Australia’s history – its colonial experience in New Guinea between the wars. Micheal will reveal how the New Guinea Goldfields were discovered and, against all odds, developed into the second largest gold-producing province in Australasia in the 1930s.
NB:There will also be a screening of unique film footage from the era later in the month.
