Double Book Launch Celebration
Featuring:
➡️ Observations from a Wheelchair by Penelope Gemmell (with foreword by Justine Martin)
➡️ Memories Belonga Me by Lachlan Terry
Event Details:
📅 Wednesday, 16 July 2025
🕜 10.30 AM - 12PM
📍 Von Stieglitz Meeting Room, Riverway Library, 20 Sporting Drive, Thuringowa Central Queensland 4817
Why This Event Matters
✨ Observations from a Wheelchair is the raw, uplifting, and often humorous debut from writer and disability advocate Penelope Gemmell. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and navigating life from a wheelchair, Penelope shares stories that will make you laugh, cry, and rethink how you see the world. Her mission is clear: to bring dignity, visibility, and a deeper understanding of disability, one story at a time.
✨ Memories Belonga Me by Lachlan Terry is a sweeping historical journey that pays tribute to Australia’s rural pioneers. Through meticulous research and family oral history, Lachlan traces his ancestors’ path from early colonial settlement in NSW to life on the cattle-rich plains of western Queensland. This is more than genealogy, it’s a love letter to the resilience, vision, and tenacity of those who shaped regional Australia.
