The Byron at Byron and Verandah Magazine are proud to present Thomas Keneally and Kerry O’Brien ‘in conversation’ during a very special lunch on Sunday November 30.
The Petrov Affair. Robert Menzies. Maralinga. The Vietnam War. Mass immigration…Australia emerged from World War 1 into several decades of profound change, and Thomas Keneally charts it all in Flappers to Vietnam, his third book in his series Australians.
Come and celebrate Tom Keneally’s vibrant and robust telling of our recent history over a lunchtime conversation with Kerry O’Brien. As well as their love of history and politics Tom and Kerry share an Irish heritage, a love of rugby, food and fine conversation. This is an absolutely not-to-be-missed event.

Bob Carr and Thomas Keneally ‘In Conversation’
How Gough Whitlam changed the face of Australia.
A discussion about life, literature, history and politics
Booker Prize winning author Thomas Keneally, and ex-Premier of New South Wales and Federal Foreign Minister for Australia, Bob Carr will be in Lennox Head this month to celebrate the launch of Tom Keneally’s latest book, Flappers to Vietnam the third in his series Australians.
To celebrate VERANDAH MAGAZINE publisher Candida Baker is hosting a special evening event at the Lennox Cultural and Community centre on Saturday, November 29th from 5pm.
Bob Carr, whose book, Diary of a Foreign Minister is a wide-ranging look at Australia’s place on the world stage of politics, will talk with Tom and MC Candida about the changes they have both seen in Australia in the past 40 years. Bob Carr and Tom Keneally will entertain, provoke and amuse us in an evening that is both a tribute to their careers – and to Gough Whitlam, the Prime Minister who truly changed the face of Australia.
In Sydney, demonstrators lay down in numbers in front of Johnson’s motorcade, and Askin cried to the driver, ‘Run the bastards over.’
