Bobbie is well known to many in Kiama as the former manager of Kiama Library, whose study of architecture prior to becoming a librarian contributed so much to the design of the wonderful library building the community now enjoys.

Bobbie will be highlighting buildings in Sydney and the Illawarra which were designed by notable early architects such as Francis Greenway, John Verge, Edmund Blacket and James Barnet.

Of particular interest will be buildings in our local area. For example, Edmund Blacket, who designed such prominent buildings as Sydney University and St Andrew's Cathedral, also designed churches at Kiama, Jamberoo and Gerringong.

Bobbie will be talking about the buildings, the various building styles they demonstrate, and the architects themselves. 

Bobbie's talk will be preceded by a brief AGM.

The talk commences at 2.30pm at the Kiama Family History Centre, Railway Parade, Kiama.
