Event Details

 

Join Susannah Fullerton (President of the Jane Austen Society of Australia and a noted literary scholar) for a free, entertaining and informative discussion about literary travellers in Australia.

Discover the little known tales of some of the world's great writers who made the long trek to Australia: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Mark Twain, Rudyard Kipling, HG Wells and Agatha Christie.

Where did they visit, what did they think of our country and how did their travels influence their future work?

Susannah will also be presenting a session about Jane Austen at 1.30pm.
