Author Event: Harry Dillon talks about Macquarie - From Colony to Country.

You are invited to meet Harry Dillon and hear him talk about his new book at Berkelouw Mona Vale, on Thursday 9 September.

Macquarie – From Colony to Country
In 1810 Lachlan Macquarie became governor of New South Wales. He ruled the colony for twelve years, during which time its fate lay in the balance after years of famine and strife, culminating in a coup against its previous governor, William Bligh.

The story of Macquarie's governorship is in many ways the story of early Australian history. No other governor etched his identity so indelibly on his times, nor left his name so well represented on Australian maps.

Harry Dillon is a lecturer in Journalism with the School of Communication at Charles Sturt University, Bathurst. He has been a full-time academic for the past decade after a 25-year career as a journalist, broadcast producer and editor. Peter Butler has had a passion for history since school days in Sydney.
