An evening with Peter FitzSimons at Gosford Regional Library
About
Join us for an unforgettable evening as bestselling author and journalist Peter FitzSimons brings to life the extraordinary story of Edward 'Weary' Dunlop - the heroic doctor whose bravery and compassion saved thousands of Australian POWs on the infamous Thai-Burma Railway during World War II.From the battlefields of Tobruk to the brutal camps of Southeast Asia, Weary’s tale is one of grit, sacrifice, and unshakeable humanity. Discover how this gentle giant, once a Wallaby and pharmacist, became a beacon of hope in the darkest of times.
Don’t miss this chance to hear one of Australia’s greatest storytellers share a powerful chapter of our history. It’s more than a talk - it’s a tribute to resilience, leadership, and the spirit of mateship.
This event will be held in the auditorium and is accessible by stairs or lift. The auditorium is a tiered seating venue.
