In conjunction with CBCA Central Coast, BOOK FACE Erina are excited to host the Central Coast book launch for ‘Tubowgule: A Sydney Opera House History’, written by Melissa-Jane Fogarty and illustrated by Dylan Finney.

About the book:

A fascinating and inclusive history of one of Australia's greatest landmarks, the Sydney Opera House, and the land on which it is built. This is the story of Tubowgule.

The Sydney Opera House is an Australian icon and a building recognised all around the world, but the land on which it stands has a long history. We step back in time to when Tubowgule was a ceremonial place for the Gadi people and we follow along as the land is claimed by the colonisers and then takes on various forms and uses before it comes back around again as a place to gather and share song, dance and culture.

About the event:

Melissa-Jane Fogarty and Dylan Finney will be in conversation with author Fiona Lloyd, as they discuss their new picture book and the Indigenous history of an iconic landmark.

This is a free to attend event and all are welcome. RSVPs are essential - you can RSVP by emailing us at erina@bookfacestores.com.au or by calling us on (02) 4365 5288.

We can’t wait to support this fantastic children’s picture book, and hope you can join us in celebrating here in store. Copies will be available for purchase on the night, with a signing to follow.
