Sunday 1 June 2025
2:00pm - 3:30 pm
Meet outside McDonald's
Acland and Esplanade corner, St Kilda
See how much history can be squeezed into a stroll with Society committee member, Liz Kelly, along Acland Street from Maccas to the Prince of Wales Hotel.
Hear about gangland murder, a scandalous reverend, the mansion built with a convict fortune, the Victorian premier who was a Baronet, and other extraordinary St Kilda stories.
Liz Kelly is a self-taught history aficionado, adept at digging into historical archives to answer member and public queries. Many of her entertaining responses are published in the Q&A section of the Society's newsletter.
Having explored her family history, she now delves into the family histories (and scandals) of people who shaped the multi- textured history of St Kilda, from bush-rangers to bohemians, and wealthy entrepreneurs - and turns them into fascinating reading for the newsletter.
This is a free member only event. Booking essential as places are limited to 25 members.
