Researcher Wal Walker will speak about his book, The Squatters’ Grab: Where it All Went Wrong (Arcana Gallery Press, 2023).

As the author explains, the book “looks at the failures of government and administration […] that allowed the violent dispossession of the Indigenous people. It unearths, many for the first time, the people and incidents responsible for this disaster” and “records the voices and experience of explorers, settlers and Aboriginals”.

The talk will be followed by afternoon tea.

This event will be hosted by the Ryde–Hunters Hill Flora and Fauna Preservation Society.
