We will be hosting a talk on Sunday 21st June at 2.00pm. Our guest speaker Lynne Cooper will take us on a family journey, recounted in her recently released book 'The Mystery Medal' Her great grandfather Henry Frood was a police sergeant in the central goldfields in the 1880s, including some time in Daylesford. When researched, the medal revealed a connection to the Chinese community, and told a story of compassion.
