The History of the NSW South Coast: An Overview

To many in the Canberra area, the South Coast is their playground, so they feel connected to it. For early settlers in the Southern Highlands and Monaro, the South Coast provided an important link to the outside world. The South Coast's history is extraordinarily interesting and is pretty much the same whether you are in Kiama, Batemans Bay, Eden or anywhere else up or down the coast. In this presentation, Peter Lacey, the President of the South Coast History Society, will be discussing 10 major things about the South Coast's history that together have shaped the South Coast into what it is today.

(The South Coast History Society is Australia's most active, most innovative, most widely-supported history society. Peter will also, briefly, explain how this has come about and what lessons other community groups could take from the successful path that SCHS has trodden.)
