The Henry Lawson Memorial and Literary Society of Victoria (HLMLS) has had gatherings to commemorate Henry Lawson and his works every year for the last 100 years (1923-2023). The list of invited speakers beside the Lawson Tree at the Annual Footscray Hill Park event forms a ‘Who’s Who’ of Australian writers and their influential devotees. Henry’s friends, his ex-wife, his brother and his daughter all supported the HLMLS, and the monthly meetings in Melbourne were lively and popular events. Literary Societies thrived in the early 20th century. This book documents HLMLS contributions to the literary life of Melbourne, and Australian writers’ roles in recording aspects of our rich history and culture. The HLMLS continues to inspire and reward poets and story tellers of all ages, in their creative feats.
