Whitehorse Heritage Week: Box Hill Cemetery Tour

September 22 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Whitehorse Heritage Week Box Hill Cemetery tour: ‘On stage – beyond the footlights’

Sunday 22 September 2pm to 4pm.  Meet at the Cemetery office 10 minutes prior to departure.

Sir George Tallis’ name is remembered, but what about his wife, Amelia Young? Everyone knows about Dame Nellie Melba, but what about Amy Castles?

Singers, writers, producers – did they enjoy life in the limelight or prefer a quiet life? Why did some fade from public memory?

Join guides from the Box Hill and Surrey Hills Historical Societies as they explore the lives of some of the characters who helped make Melbourne the cultural capital of Australia.

Cost: $15.00.  Bookings essential, https://www.trybooking.com/CTNBK
