Way Back Wednesday . . .
A 1902 photo of Edgley & Co which was located in lower William Street. Louis Edgley arrived in Bathurst in 1882 and developed his shop into one of Bathurst's most successful wholesale & retail businesses. Louis Edgley died in 1944 and as stated in the National Advocate in 1944 “during his residence in Bathurst was regarded as one of the leading commercial men of the west, was an astute businessman and one who spent most of his time looking after his business. He also took part in charitable affairs, while his main sporting hobby was bowls. He was a foundation member of the Bathurst Bowling Club.”

This event celebrates the diversity of women’s experiences while exploring the universal themes that connect us — family, place, identity, belonging, resilience, kindness and community.

Participants are invited to listen to stories from women of diverse cultural backgrounds while reflecting on their own experiences through guided writing and storytelling activities throughout.

Participants will explore memories of places that have shaped them, moments of connection with people from different backgrounds, and the values and experiences we share.
