Truth Telling Session at Mitchelton Library with Lesley Synge

with Lesley Synge a Brisbane writer

Lesley Synge will speak on how she became involved in community-based Truth-Telling following the publication of her history book, Know Their Names: the Queensland government’s

Aboriginal workers and the system that exploited them.

Many know of Carnarvon Gorge in the Central Highlands, but few know that the Queensland government bred horses on the property next door for 25 years, from 1909 to 1934.

Or that the horses were supplied to Police Stations for transport in a state twice the size of Texas.
