Author talk and book signing
It is not widely know that the infamous bushranger, Thunderbolt, was born and bred in the Hawkesbury. Even less well-known are the facts surrounding his death. But if Barry Sinclair has his way, Thunderbolt and his daring deeds will be much better understood following the recent publication of his novel, Thunderbolt: scourge of the ranges.
Barry, who happens to be Thunderbolt's great-great-nephew, will be speaking at Hawkesbury Regional Museum at 11am on Saturday 27 March. Copies of the book will be for sale, and morning tea will be provided.
