| Matthew Higgins: 'Surveyors at the snowline' | Thursday, 13 February 2014 - 12:30pm to 1:30pm |
Matthew considers why the ACT border is where it is, who the surveyors were, how they marked the border and what they experienced. This is a tale of three young men – two of whose names are commemorated in modern Canberra- working partly in some of Australia’s most rugged mountain country and living under canvas. One of them got snowed-in, two had young wives with them, while one drove a Model T Ford and had a quirky sense of humour. The surveyors’ field books are archives of considerable heritage significance and historical interest. |
| Mark Carmody: 'It's all about P: postie, plants, people and places' | Thursday, 6 February 2014 - 12:30pm to 1:30pm |
Mark will launch the 2014 Thursday Talks program by talking about his ‘postie bike’ trip after retirement from the ABC, where he imparted a gardening flavour to the nightly weather news. Mark Carmody has spent many years gardening in Canberra at ACT Parks and Conservation, the National Rose Gardens and as head gardener at The Lodge.
