Did you know that Strzelecki – the one who named Mt Kosciuszko 180 years ago – bravely stayed amongst typhus victims while saving Irish children from starvation during the Great Famine? Do you know where he spent the last night before entering the Gippsland forest? How come he himself was saved from starvation by an Aboriginal Charlie Tarra? Why do you think he never married though he was engaged to his sweetheart Adina for over 30 years? Have you heard that his father had fought in the Kosciuszko Uprising?
You will find the answers to these questions in our presentations and songs which were to be performed during The Strzelecki Omeo Festival (cancelled), now available online.
All available online
