Rascals and Respectables 1: Tony Gilmour

Kiama Community Radio Season 2025 Episode 463

The place was packed to the rafters at the launch of Dr Tony Gilmour’s book Rascals and Respectables, at the March Meeting of the Kiama and District Historical Society. The book is a social history of the Kiama/ Gerringong/ Jamberoo area through the lens of the local pubs and drinking houses.  

The meeting was introduced by Sue Eggins, president of the Kiama and District Historical Society and the book was officially launched by Gareth Ward MP, state member for Kiama. This is Part 1 of the book launch, you can also hear Part 2 when the meeting retired to Tory’s Hotel in the late afternoon to hear stories of historical scandals and the individuals involved. 

The book is available at the Pilot's Cottage Museum or via the Kiama Historical Society website, and Tony will hand deliver the book to your door, within the Kiama LGA but only while they are available!
