Coming Events - Manning Clark House

Monday 14 February - 5.30pm – 7.30pm Wine & Cheese Talk

Stories of Love and War � a special Valentine�s Day event. Rebecca Britt from the Australian War Memorial offers a window into love during war by exploring the beautiful, humorous, touching and evocative objects found amongst the treasures of the Australian War Memorial's collections. The personal stories of generations of Australians, in all their private triumphs or despair, are revealed through the material they have left behind. Every object, letter, photograph and work of art in the Memorial's collection tells a story.
