Wellbeing Group - Heroes, Villans and Vagabonds by Richard Offen
Showgrounds Community Men's Shed
04:00 PM – 06:00 PM
This is your last opportunity for 2024 to join with the Wellness Group at our final presentation for this year. So come along and enjoy listeniong to a great speaker and sharing in some Shed fellowship this week. Due to popular demand, Richard is returning to our Shed for another presentation entitled "Heroes, Villans and Vagabonds". Perth’s history is littered with wonderful characters that shaped the city in a multitude of ways. In this talk, Richard Offen will take you on a fascinating journey through the history of Perth, highlighting some of the people who, in their own way, for good or bad, and even sometimes a bit of both, contributed to the way Perth is today. Ladies such as Eliza Shaw, who through her diaries and writings reveals the joys, sorrows and extreme hardships of early life in the Swan River Colony. Then there is Moondyne Joe, the infamous 19th century Houdini, who managed to escape from many of WA's jails. Were they mad, bad or totally eccentric? Come along and judge for yourself! As usual, partners are welcome to attend, and we encourage you to stay around after the talk for some Men’s Shed Fellowship. The only known photo of Moondyne Joe.
