Community Event Talking History
My Place: the Story of not only a house in Yeronga but a place from pre-colonial times to the present day @ Yeronga Community Centre

Dr Michael Macklin has undertaken extensive research about Yeronga in Brisbane. In this talk he adds another dimension to the research by telling the story from the perspective of his home.

Dr. Michael Macklin established the Australian Democrats in Queensland, was elected to the Senate in 1980 and retired from politics in 1990. He then oversaw the highly successful Capital Campaign for the restoration of old Customs House. From 2002 to 2007, Michael was Professor and Executive Dean of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at UNE. He is now happily retired but busy as a keen historian, grandfather and, when possible, enthusiastic traveller.
