Our next meeting is at 7:30 on 14 February, 2019 at Mount Duneed Hall, 40 Mount Duneed Road, Mount Duneed. Ted Stephens, writer of many books about Geelong history will tell the story of Francis Ormond. Ormond's later life, when he became a benefactor to many churches and educational institutions, is well documented but his story begins when his parents migrated to Australia in 1842. Pictured at right is his statue which was erected outside the Working Men's College in Melbourne which later became RMIT. |
