Taking place from the 7th till the 10th of April at The Goods Shed and venues throughout Castlemaine, Dialogues 2022 aims to stimulate active discourse where speakers and audiences challenge, inform, reassure and inspire each other. Speakers will challenge and engage with the audience, encouraging them to instigate, embrace, reject and consider the outcomes of change along the way.
When Jon Faine was a junior lawyer, he didn't ever expect that the death of a publican named Thelma, who lived in a remote outback pub, and the meeting of her brother, Apollo, who became the world's strongest man, would somehow irrevocably change the direction of his life.
Join us at The Goods Shed as much-loved radio presenters Jon Faine and Derek Guille enjoy a lively discussion around Jon’s new book: Apollo and Thelma.
