About this event
Catalpa: Escape to Freedom recounts Australia’s most daring prison escape – from friendships, alliances and secret letters to the undercover spies and treachery that dogged the bold Fenians in their race to board the Catalpa. In these free sessions for children, authors Mike and Joy Lefroy bring history to life as they share the story against the backdrop of the very prison the Fenians escaped from!
