There are some great opportunities to listen to super-interesting speakers this week in the neighbourhood...
Tonight sees the resumption for 2012 of the Walkie-Talkie sessions, otherwise known as the Potts Point Speaker's Forum, with not one, BUT TWO guest speakers: author / tv host Gretel Killeen plus barrister (and the original 'RAKE') Charles Waterstreet.
Walkie-Talkie is at Concrete Blonde ...look HERE for more details.....
Later in the week, as part of the 2012 National Trust Heritage Festival, the life of electricity pioneer Violet McKenzie will be explored, in a talk at the Kings Cross Library.
A graduate of Sydney Girl's High, Violet McKenzie was Australia's first female electrical engineer (1923)
who opened The Wireless Shop in the Royal Arcade, founded the magazine Electronics Australia, instructed World War II servicemen in Morse code and was a pen pal of Albert Einstein....
Look HERE for more details.
Both talks start at 6pm and places must be booked.
