SUMMARY:Local History: The History of Navigation & The First Fleet
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a captivating Local History session on Monday\, 24th August\, starting at 10am in the Main Room. Local historian Bob McIlvena will explore the surprising chain of events that led to the settlement of Australia — including how the American War of Independence cut off Britain’s ability to transport convicts to its American colonies\, forcing the British Government to look elsewhere and ultimately send the First Fleet to Australia in 1788. Bob will trace this fascinating story of migration\, war\, and unintended consequences that shaped the nation we know today. Whether you’re a lifelong history enthusiast or simply curious about how it all began\, this session promises engaging storytelling and fresh insight. All welcome — come along with your questions and curiosity!
