All of these things will come together on Friday, October 7 at Longleat Wines, where the Murchison Book Group has invited Pam to speak about the biography of her late husband, Rod Wells.
Her book, The Tiger Has Many Lives, was published in April.
Rod grew up on a dairy farm at Dhurringile, and as a signals officer in Malaya during World War II he was captured by the Japanese.
His exploits while incarcerated were daring and dangerous, and he narrowly escaped execution by the Kempeitai, the Japanese military pollice.
Post-war he enjoyed several careers with various government departments, which also had their share of excitement.
Cost of the lunch is $38, which includes a complimentary drink on arrival, and must be booked online, as below.
A signed copy of the book can be pre-ordered and pre-paid for $35 or purchased on the day for $35 — cash sales only.
Tables of eight can be reserved; smaller groups or individuals will be accommodated in a friendly atmosphere.
Numbers are limited, so book early via sheppartontickets.com.au/event16747
For further information contact Margaret McMaster on 0417 262 213 or email mundoona3@bigpond.com
The event begins at noon; arrive from 11.30am. Proceeds from book sales and raffles will be donated to the Murchison community.
