YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO JOIN US FOR THE LAUNCH OF:

TALL POPPY ON THE GOLDFIELDS

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF HENRY FOSTER

1819–1884

BY
BEVERLEY FOSTER

From the untamed frontier of the Western District in 1842, the Victorian goldfields and the dry and dusty Northern District of Victoria comes the remarkable story of a man who lived with courage, conviction and an unyielding strength of character.
Loved by thousands, he was reviled by a few men in high places who would bring him to his knees.

Join us to unveil the life and times of Henry Foster—early pioneer and an extraordinary figure of colonial Victoria. A story as yet untold.

SATURDAY, 24th OCTOBER 2026 from 1.30 pm – 4.30 pm

The Soldiers Lounge and Balcony
NORTH STAR HOTEL
302 Lydiard Street, Ballarat

An afternoon unveiling untold history, old stories made new and a celebration of Colonial Victoria. We would be greatly honoured by your presence. Ground floor lift is available.
