Cleo's Author Talk - In Search of Bertha
/
Thanks to resident Cleo for agreeing to give an author talk about her book 'In Search of Bertha'. We are very lucky to have so many accomplished and creative people at the Astra! Cleo gave a really interesting and informative talk about her search to ‘find’ a member of her family. She was inspired to do it because some years ago, after a brush with her own mortality, she realised that the family knew little about her grandmother Bertha. It was a fascinating trip into the past, complete with photographs, and we learned something about outback Queensland and the early wool industry. We finished up with afternoon tea and cake, and an opportunity to chat further about the talk.
