DINNER WITH ROBYN WILLIAMS

Join Robyn Williams, host of ABC Radio National's The Science Show, and his longtime partner, science journalist Jonica Newby, on the eve of the show's 50th anniversary. Whilst enjoying a sumptuous three course meal, listen in on a discussion with Robyn about what it's taken, professionally and personally, to make the show for half a century. Join the conversation around the dinner table, as we discuss how science journalism has changed over the decades, and how it will have to continue to adapt, particularly in the face of growing mistrust and misinformation. Plus, you'll hear from some very special guests throughout the evening.

The dinner includes a welcome drink on arrival. Other beverages will be available for purchase.

A GAME CALLED BIRDS: TAWNY SESSIONS
Aug
18

A GAME CALLED BIRDS: TAWNY SESSIONS

Birds, as it’s colloquially known, is a new Australian board game hatched in Nipaluna/Hobart in late 2024. It’s a feathery frenzy of strategy, sabotage, and sheer luck. Dreamed up on a bushwalk gone a bit cuckoo, the game pits players against each other in a race to 80 points across a treacherous board where only the sharpest birdbrain survives. It’s a real flight of fancy, featuring 70 stunning species — including all 12 of Tassie’s endemic birds.

Come along to learn the pecking order on Monday, then wing it at the tournament on Tuesday. It’ll be a flocking good time.
