BMHS Meeting and talk: Poets, Painters and Pioneers – Banjo Patterson’s Remarkable Family

Heather Knight, a long term member of Blue Mountains Historical Society, will speak to her recently released book on the little known aspects of Banjo Patterson’s family. Heather tells the story of Banjo’s ancestors, who, through the difficult struggle to establish themselves as settlers in their new country, raised a remarkable family of sportsmen, artists, musicians and poets. The family legacy is Australia’s legendary poet, Banjo Patterson. Heather will have copies of the book available for purchase on the day at the discounted price of $35.
