Look for the Red Umbrella

In his book “’Look for the Red Umbrella”, Ballarat author Geoff McArthur tells the true story of Agnes Greig, a woman who achieved this and much more, overcoming personal tragedies, family scandals and fierce opposition to make her mark as a business and community leader in a new city dominated by men.

With a husband whose hubris brought the family to its knees, this very real tale of deceit, tragedy and courage plays out in the shops and streets of Victorian-era Ballarat.  It’s a story you'll barely believe happened!
