Siang Lu and Bryan Brown AM in Conversation

Thursday 23 July
6:30pm – 9:30pm
Attire: Black-tie

Join us for an unforgettable black-tie Literary Dinner at Berkelouw's iconic Book Barn. Savour an exquisite, carefully curated menu and selected Bendooley Estate wines to complement the evening's celebration of literature and elegance. All this as we celebrate 2025 Miles Franklin Award winner Siang Lu and his novel Ghost Cities, a bold and deeply humane exploration of identity and diaspora.

Beloved Australian actor and author Bryan Brown will also join us to reflect on an extraordinary career spanning stage and screen, and to share the story behind his latest book, The Hidden. An extraordinary evening of fine food, exceptional wine, and unforgettable literature awaits!
