Author Talk - Ian W. Shaw

Join us for a fascinating author talk with Ian W. Shaw, speaking about his latest book, The Golden Gang. Ian is the author of twelve history books including The Bloodbath, which was nominated for a Victorian Premier's Literary Award. The Golden Gang is the true story of Frank Gardiner, mastermind of the largest gold robbery in Australia’s history and his extraordinary life. In a tough country and among a group of tough men, Gardiner was the toughest of them all. But while he engaged in gunfights with police to evade capture, he was always courteous and could lay claim to never killing anyone, and never stole from those who couldn’t afford to be robbed. Richly detailed, The Golden Gang shines a new light onto Gardiner’s remarkable life – one that ended in shocking tragedy – and reinstates his place in the pantheon of Australian outlaw heroes

Book sales and signing will be available at the event.
