His book BATAVIA is described as the greatest story in Australia’s history!

Local band Hester take to the stage later in the evening after a 3 course meal from Dalgleish Catering.

The cocktail hour at 6pm will be Abrolhos Islands through and through, with a seafood BBQ, crayfish and other options from Perry Minisale and Tarts & Co.  Me & The Missus will get the crowd started as the sun sets.

The night will feature raffles, silent auctions, major auctions, best dressed, Charity & Abrolhos Islands merchandise and much more!
