Margaret River Readers & Writers Festival - The Settlement

  • Margaret River HEART - Main Stage 47 Wallcliffe Road Margaret River, WA, 6285 Australia (map)

Set on the windswept point of an island at the edge of Van Diemen’s Land, The Settlement reimagines the ill-fated exploits of George Augustus Robinson at the settlement of Wybalenna.
Robinson gathers together the last of the Tasmanians to save them – he believes – from the murderous intent of pastoral settlers on their country.
Join Jock Serong for this compelling discussion of his extraordinarily vivid imagining of one of the most significant encounters in Australian history
Hosted by Mark Smith
