Description

Join us for "Dead & Buried", a captivating history seminar that delves into Sydney's three earliest burial grounds: the Old Burial Ground (George Street), Devonshire Street "Sandhill's Cemetery", and the grand Victorian Rookwood Necropolis. 

Renowned cultural historian Warren Fahey will uncover the stories of notable burials and the colourful history of the good, bad, and ugly side of Sydney city. This illustrated talk will also explore changing attitudes towards death, especially in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. 

Friday 13th of September
10:00am - 11:30am
Liverpool City Library | Yellamundie
