Go Saturday - Justice & Police Museum
2022-08-27 14:00 - 16:00 (Australia/Sydney) | Justice & Police Museum, Cnr Albert & Phillip St, Circular Quay, Sydney, NSW, 2000, Australia
Let’s step into the dark side of Sydney’s past with a visit to the Water Police station and courts that once made up one of the city’s busiest legal hubs.
Crooks and cops, thugs and judges, locals and drifters, the guilty and the innocent have all left their stories here. With its 1890s holding cells, offices, charge room and courts, the museum draws you into a world of crime, punishment and policing, from bushrangers, sly grog and razor gangs to forensics. A vast archive of crime scene photography and mug shots reveal more than a century of underworld Sydney.

Suspended from the ceiling you will find a model representing the day the arches joined (19 August 1930). The two half arches of the bridge are secured with a massive centre pin. The model illustrates the centre pin that was used to fasten the arches together.
Explore the glamorous early years of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the evolution of the South East Pylon and relive the magic of the opening celebrations.

Theatre Group - 'Looking for Alibrandi'
2022-10-08 14:00 - 16:30 | Belvoir St Theatre, 25 Belvoir Street, Surry Hills, Sydney, NSW, 2010, Australia
This month we are going to enjoy a Saturday matinee at Belvoir, enabling our members who have weekday commitments to attend.
By Vidya Rajan, based on the book by Melina Marchetta. Directed by Stephen Nicolazzo.
The beloved novel of migration, growing up, and Sydney – now a play!
Three generations of women. The Italian-Australian experience. A tale of Sydney. A much-loved modern classic novel, a ground-breaking film, and now at Belvoir, a simply great night out.
It’s the last year of school, and 17-year- old Josephine Alibrandi can’t wait for her future to begin. If only she can get past the world of her Nonna, holding on to the values of the old country; and the world of her Mum, full of care and secrets. It’s time to take her place in the real world, beyond her family, beyond being an Alibrandi.
But this is the year Josie gets to know her father. This is the year she falls in love. And this is the year she uncovers the truth – and finds the Alibrandi she has been searching for.
We’re really excited to see how this classic of first and second generation Italian migration plays now. It has a bit of everything – teen romance, coming-of-age, tragi-comedy in a very Australian vein. Also, it’s wonderful to have Stephen Nicolazzo directing for the Belvoir stage – he’ll bring a very Alibrandi flair – Eamon
