Upcoming Guest Speaker

Sue Williams has worked as a journalist, appeared on TV and radio, and has written 26 books at the last count. Having travelled the world ‘alone with her backpack’, she first wrote Getting There: Journeys of an Accidental Adventurer, followed by Welcome to the Outback and Women of the Outback: inspiring stories of tragedy and triumph. She’s written several biographies, books on such diverse topics as medical ethics and buying real estate, and has co-authored a women’s health guide amongst other things.

Her first and best-selling historical fiction novel, Elizabeth and Elizabeth explores the relationship between Elizabeth Macarthur and Elizabeth Macquarie, whose husbands were sworn enemies. Following on from that came The Bligh Girl, as she combined facts with imagination to fill in the gaps in the life of Governor Bligh’s ‘firebrand’ daughter, Mary. Sue’s latest work, Run For Your Life is a non-fiction account of a family who were forced into hiding after leaking Russian secrets.
