Don Tate Author Talk

We don't often have the chance to hear authors speak in Gilgandra, but just such a wonderful opportunity has come our way. Don Tate, author of the book "The war within" will be speaking at the Cooee Cultural Heritage Centre on Wednesday 7th April at 10.30am. This free event is open to everyone. As well as speaking about his book, Don will host a showing of historic movie footage he took in Vietnam as a young infantryman in 1969. His film shows images of the 4th and 9th Battalions in the field, an air strike by U.S. Phantoms, men on leave in Vung Tau, and patrols in the thick jungle of Long Khanh. This is a wonderful opportunity to see this footage and to hear an author speak.

For more information about the author, visit his website. There is a transcript of a report about Don on the 7.30 Report , or you can listen to a radio interview with Don on Radio National's Life Matters program. Or better yet, come along to the Cooee Heritage Centre on April 7 at 10.30am and hear what he has to say, for yourself. Free tea, coffee and muffins will be available after the talk.
