Our presenter for this session is Rod Quin.

Date: Sunday 16 June 2024

Time: 1:30pm to 2:30pm

Carey was a controversial figure who inspired strong loyalties and strong antagonisms in nineteenth century Bunbury and surrounding areas. He was the victim of assault, defendant in a libel case, critic of the Forrest brothers and opponent of the pastoral 'squattocracy'.
