Michael Thornton in conversation with Michael McGirr

Tuesday 26 July, 6.30pm
Readings Hawthorn

In Jackaroo, Thornton recalls his years learning the ropes in an era when farm work was still done on horseback. Engaging, candid and often funny, his memoir reveals the hard working lives of the unsung all-rounders of the country. He will be in conversation with author and commentator Mr McGirr.
Expect to laugh and reminisce.

Free, but please book on 9819 1917.

Readings Hawthorn Wurundjeri Country, 687 Glenferrie Rd, Hawthorn
