Friends of Grossmann and Brough Houses invite you to the 2024 Grossmann Lecture, delivered by Dr Peter Hobbins of the Australian National Maritime Museum, exploring the theme: Maitland under attack? Defending the Hunter region in World War II.
What sort of credible threat could have materialised in the Hunter and were we prepared for it? This presentation considers the prospects of naval, military and aerial attacks in the Hunter region, from toxic gases to warship broadsides.
The annual Grossmann Lecture will be accompanied by homemade canapes and a complementary glass of sparkling wine, to be enjoyed in the delightful gardens of Brough and Grossmann Houses, Church St, Maitland.
