Greetings history friends and colleagues,
We hope this newsletter finds you rested and ready for the holiday season.
The summer break is a wonderful time for catching up with friends, family and loved ones. In this spirit, we bring you a story about about collecting through several family generations.
With bushfire season approaching, it is also timely to remember Ash Wednesday and the many devastating fires that affect Victorians each year. Cockatoo is just one community for whom bushfire season holds great significance.
Finally, we have some history and culture related articles and events to take you into the new year.
Wishing you happy holidays,
Emma and Susan
