'In Agony I Fly To My Saviour': Van Diemen's Land Company's Henry Hellyer

English surveyor and architect Henry Hellyer (1790 - 1832) was employed by the Van Diemen's Land Company which is still based in the North West of the state.

Novelist Konrad Muller's beautiful book My Heart at Evening takes the charismatic character of Hellyer and explores his life, and his tragic death.

Come along to hear Konrad share what he found out about Hellyer as he researched the book.

If you are not available to attend in person, this event will be livestreamed here.
