On Saturday 2nd November 2024, commencing at 10.30am, the Blue Mountains Historical Society will conduct its monthly meeting and public talk at their Hobby’s Reach Research Rooms at 99 Blaxland Road, Wentworth Falls.

Scott Honeysett will speak about his new book, “Shattered Branches”, the story of 12 members of the Honeysett family who enlisted in the AIF during WW1. These human interest stories have strong ties to the Blue Mountains.

The first to enlist, Sam Honeysett, was the son of the founder of Springwood Newsagency, William Honeysett, which is now known as Springwood Officemart. William established the business, which was held in the family until the 1980s, in 1892.

Morning tea will be available from 10.00am.
