Coming off the back of his successful first book "My Spin in PR", raconteur, writer and PR guru Noel Tennison tells the amusing story of his life over eight decades in Queensland and Victoria during which he became probably the only man in Australian history to have served six different political parties and five trade unions, wrestled with the Catholic Church and enjoyed three marriages and six children! His experiences ranging from illegal bookmaker to top government adviser provide a rich vein of humour and a unique view of Australian history starting only 30 years after Federation and extending to the present day.
The Henry Lawson Memorial and Literary Society of Victoria (HLMLS) has had gatherings to commemorate Henry Lawson and his works every year for the last 100 years (1923-2023). The list of invited speakers beside the Lawson Tree at the Annual Footscray Hill Park event forms a ‘Who’s Who’ of Australian writers and their influential devotees. Henry’s friends, his ex-wife, his brother and his daughter all supported the HLMLS, and the monthly meetings in Melbourne were lively and popular events. Literary Societies thrived in the early 20th century. This book documents HLMLS contributions to the literary life of Melbourne, and Australian writers’ roles in recording aspects of our rich history and culture. The HLMLS continues to inspire and reward poets and story tellers of all ages, in their creative feats.
