Overview of this event
Join us at Ryde Library as award winning journalist and author Helen Pitt chats about her new book Luna Park with former Local Studies Librarian and enthusiastic Historian Angela Phippen. The book tells the dazzling, roller-coaster story of Australia's iconic amusement park on Sydney Harbour. It is an extraordinary story of the showmen, shysters and schemers who built Sydney's famous fun park, now a senior itself celebrating 90 years! 'All the thrills, spills and tragedy behind that iconic grin, brought to life by a masterful storyteller.' Wendy Harmer 'A rollercoaster ride through some of Sydney's brightest and darkest stories. A compelling tale, vividly told, and history every Sydneysider should know.'
