About this Event
Discover the fascinating life and works of Katharine Susannah Prichard, the first Australian novelist to gain international recognition with her 1915 novel, The Pioneers.
Katharine’s Place, also known as the Katharine Susannah Prichard Writers’ Centre, demonstrates a particular aesthetic relationship between the buildings and the wild, varied character of the garden.
Enjoy high tea and explore Katharine’s Place where, in her own words, she produced her 'best literary works'. View the rarely seen objects from the Centre’s heritage collection and at 2.00pm listen to a reading by Dr Nathan Hobby from his book The Red Witch: A Biography of Katharine Susannah Prichard.
This event is an unmissable opportunity to learn about an important part of Australian history while gaining an intimate insight to Katharine Susannah Prichard's sometimes controversial, yet incredibly captivating, story.
Visit the Centre and have a walk through the property, learn about the history and explore the heritage items for a gold coin donation.

FAQs
What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?
There is a bus stop directly outside the Centre on Old York Road. The Centre is located on a residential street and looks like any other house: look for the 'Katharine’s Place' wooden plaque sign and bright green letterbox out front. Parking is available in the brick driveway and in front of the hedge, also on the upper gravel level (to the right of the house) and along the street. Overflow parking can be found down the gravel driveway to the immediate left of the house (look for the No Thoroughfare sign); please drive down here slowly.
