Anne reveals her historical expertise

Anne presented on the History of Heatherdale Road to Ringwood and District Historical Society (RDHS) on 22 October, after spending many months delving into the rural, residential and industrial history of this road which borders both Maroondah and Whitehorse LGA’s. Anne is pictured with RDHS President, Russ Haines, after her entertaining and well-received presentation.
