It has details of our upcoming AGM, photographs from our recent events, details of how you can see the Irish Film Festival online and Irish highlights at the upcoming British Film Festival. As you likely know, Halloween came from Ireland, where it was called Samhain, and to celebrate, we have our first Halloween event. It’s a night-time walk with spooky stories at South Brisbane Cemetery and we would love you to join us! 

This Newsletter also has part one of the story of Hon. Bentinck Yelverton Bingham, the son of an Irish Lord whose forgotten grave was found at Toowong Cemetery during preparations for our Irish history tour there in 2024. After a lot of research, we are publishing the first part of his story in this newsletter, part two will be in the next newsletter, and it’s a gripping story with a fascinating cast of characters.
