IAF Literary Dinner, Monday, 21 September 2026
Please join us for our September Literary Dinner for 2026 sponsored by Wakefield Press
Our next speaker is Tim Lloyd, one of the authors of Unley: Inner-city life. When amalgamations were all the rage, the small, 14-square-kilometre City of Unley decided to stick with its heritage and identity and go it alone. Unley: Inner-city life details what municipalities like Unley, home now to more than 38,000 people, have learned over 150 years and how they have responded. It celebrates 150 years of Unley Council's history from its incorporation in 1871 and delves back to the pre-colonisation era and the early years of South Australia from 1836.
TICKETS: $40 members, $45 non members includes a choice of main course, a quiz and an entertaining speaker.
About the speaker:
Tim Lloyd took a degree in history at the University of Adelaide and joined Adelaide's Advertiser in 1974. For many years he wrote the newspaper's obituary pages and a weekly Heritage Matters column. He was arts editor for the paper from 1987 to 1995 and has been its theatre critic since 1977. In 2024 he became a member of the South Australian Heritage Council.
The Independent Arts Foundation thanks ticket buyers in advance for paying the Trybooking ticket and purchasing fees.
