About
The House of History proudly presented by National Trust of South Australia, History Trust of South Australia, & Ayers House Function CentreFrom 5.30pm at Henry's Bar, please feel free to gather prior to the presentation.
6.30pm 'Shared Opportunities' The Don Dunstan Foundation is proud to support a lecture about the opportunities presented by the shared history of Penang, Malaysia, and Adelaide.
Join Dato' Dr Ooi Kee Beng, Executive Director of the Penang Institute, and Dr Jane Lomax-Smith, Lord Mayor and chairperson of the Don Dunstan Foundation.
In 1973, Premier Don Dunstan suggested the council consider a sister city relationship between Adelaide and Penang’s capital George Town. It was a natural connection - George Town was founded in 1786 by Captain Francis Light. 50 years later Adelaide was founded by his son, Colonel William Light.
Join us to explore these connections through the eyes of a skilled historian and thinker.
