This was a special evening meeting at Cilantro attended by some 33 members and guests.
Our special guest speaker was George Petrou (OAM). George is a graphic artist by profession but obviously also an accomplished artist. He also has a special interest in history and Australians who have played significant roles in our history.
George gave a great address focusing on his latest book entitled "The Art of Humanity". This book features some 40 prominent, but little known, Australians. The book features a painting of the individual accompanied by a brief story about them, contributed by a range of people all having a connection with the person featured.

His talk was fascinating and I am sure was enjoyed by all.
