The Master of Hell’s Gates

William Kinghorne’s life was one of high adventure and achievement, ranging from the Napoleonic Wars, to smuggling in the North Sea, from the brutal penal settlements of Macquarie Harbour and Port Arthur, to the atrocities committed against the aboriginal people of Tasmania, and the whaling industry of Jervis Bay.

Join the authors for a short discussion of this larger-than-life character, whose life shaped and was shaped by an Australia few of us would recognise.

Professor Hamish Maxwell-Stewart will launch the book.

Join Chis, Alex and Hamish for the Hobart launch of The Master of Hell’s Gates at Fullers Bookshop.

Tickets are free but booking is essential as places may be limited.
