WHS Speaker Service
Need a Speaker?
Does your Club or Society within Monash run a program of speakers? Waverley Historical Society can provide presentations on a variety of topics of local (Waverley) interest:
1. Early Days around Amstel, Ashwood, Glen Waverley, Mt Waverley, Syndal, Wheelers Hill, or other locality within the Waverley part of Monash, or a compilation, Early Days around Monash for groups that cover a wider area. These can be adapted to your needs or interests.
2. Virtual Tours of High St Rd, Waverley Rd, Stephensons Road and other major roads. We regularly organise actual walks around the area, but have found main roads too noisy as well as too long, and so developed these ‘armchair strolls’ that we can easily bring to your group.
3. Drama, Danger and Dastardly Doings – If you have already viewed one of the above and have a taste for the darker side of local history, try one of these shows, which will tell of real events around the whole of old Waverley, from bushrangers, murders, and ghosts to mysteries, fraud and deception.
All shows are accompanied by a range of old photos of the local area and complete commentary. Questions are most welcome, either on the day, or with notice. The latter will be answered pictorially if at all possible!
Contact us by email waverleyhsvic@gmail.com and ask for one of our educators to visit, naming day and time. (Actual date to be decided at our mutual convenience.)
