About The Event
Local author Dr Mark Dunn is descended from convicts who settled in the Hunter Valley. He has spent two decades investigating the history of the region, uncovering the brutal side of the British settlement and a long-forgotten massacre.
The result of his endeavour is The Convict Valley, an impeccably researched history that uncovers the rich and troubled colonial past behind the prosperous vineyards of today’s Hunter Valley.
