Librarian and Sutherland resident Stephanie Bailey will describe how in 1901, the leafy shore along the Georges River at Como was the site of a pitched and fiercely contested military battle.
In this presentation, Ms Bailey will outline the extraordinary events that took place that day, who was involved, and why the combat took place at all.
Residents and visitors are welcome to attend this meeting, which will start at 1.30pm.
