Hi,
I am interested in the book you have on display on your website “Symbols of Australia”. Is it still available & how much does it cost?
I also note you have a gathering/display coming up in November 2017, although it does not indicate the location if I wished to come along. Could you please advise,
Many thanks,
Phil.
