Elizabeth Fraser, OAM, President of the Berwick-Pakenham Historical Society, will be talking about her home Goronga, at Pakenham Upper. The 60-acre farm was established in the 1870s, and the gardens around the house twenty years later.
Elizabeth’s chance encounter with a member of the Australian Garden History Society at an open day, lead to a two-year project to record the history of the property and the publication of a book in September 2022.
Members and friends are invited to join us for lunch at 12 noon in the L’Arté Central Social Enterprise Café Training Room. Lunches do need to be pre-ordered by Thursday before the meeting and paid for on the day.
Contact Eileen (secretary@nwfhg.org.au) if you would like a menu forwarded to you for pre-orders.
This will be a hybrid meeting – if you’d like to Zoom in, please contact Eileen for a link to the meeting.
