Saturday 12 April 2025

Saturday 12 April, 1pm for a 1:30pm kick off

An afternoon of radical history, stories, music and comradeship, brought together by the Radical History Collective.

The event will begin at the Queens Domain in Hobart where Professor Michael Quinlan will take us through a history of the Domain as a gathering place for Tasmania’s working class.

The tour will then move on to the Hobart Convict Penitentiary, which is a 10 minute walk away, where Professor Hamish Maxwell-Stewart will guide us through the convict history on display.

Finally, another short walk to the Hope & Anchor, for a private function upstairs to again hear from both Michael and Hamish, as well as music from The Union Choir, Opportunistic Crimes of Poverty, and poetry readings.

Dinner will be available from at the Hope & Anchor. Please contact the venue directly to book - call (03)62369982 and tell them you’re booking for the Radical History event.

Wear comfortable shoes, bring a water bottle and please RSVP for numbers as a limited edition booklet will be distributed at the event.

It’s a good idea to have lunch before the event kicks off.

Meet: Domain, in front of the old University of Tasmania building, which is close to the Brooker highway at the bottom of and roughly between Bathurst and Liverpool St.
