Omeo - Stephen Whiteside Author Event
About
Join us for a talk with author, Stephen Whiteside!Stephen Whiteside interviewed Pearl Bradshaw in 1987as part of his research for ‘Snow, Fire and Gold - the story of Bill Spargo and Evelyn Piper’s life in the Australian Mountains’, his previous book.
With her husband, Jim (who died in 1981), Pearl had managed the Hotham Heights Chalet at Mt. Hotham from 1937-1945, a total of 9 consecutive winters. This period included the 1939 bushfire, which burnt almost two million hectares of the state of Victoria and cost 71 lives, as well as the Second World War.
Reflecting on the interview afterwards, Stephen realised that Pearl’s own life had been fascinating, and returned to interview her a second time later in the year.
This is Pearl’s Story.
