Launching "Scurry" at Silvan

Launching “Scurry” at Silvan

Ross McMullin launched Anthony McAleer’s book Scurry at the Silvan Public Hall in outer Melbourne on 19 February 2017.

Bill Scurry was a notable Australian soldier who was closely associated with Pompey Elliott before, during and after World War I.

Another who spoke at the function was the local MP, Tony Smith, who is the Speaker in the House of Representatives.

What people are saying…

Ross McMullin is a pre-eminent historian and an entertaining speaker. I have had a long association with Ross and admire his wonderful story-telling, evident in his acclaimed books and his superb presentations to a variety of audiences, which are invariably well received.

I can appreciate why it [Farewell, Dear People] has made such an impact in Australia. It is original in conception, well-researched, beautifully written and illustrated — and altogether a very moving account of a piece of social history.
