Next Meeting

The next meeting of the Society will be held at the Archives in Mittagong. We are pleased to advise that our monthly general meetings will now be held in the archives on the ground floor, so no more stairs. Visitors are always welcome to attend.

Date: Thursday 26th September at 2.00pm

Guest Speaker: Society member and archivist,  Linda Emery

Topic: Rogues and Vagabonds in the Southern Highlands

The Southern Highlands has had its fair share of bushrangers, rogues, murderers and vagabonds in the 200 years since European settlement began. In this talk, Linda will tell the stories of some of them including the earliest bushrangers in the 1820s, a Quaker murderer, a serial killer and two former Ministers of the Crown who fell from grace.

Afternoon tea will be served after the meeting.
