Thursday 16th May 6pm | Dinner Tracy Hall – The Last Victim- SOLD OUT

Join us at Pilu at Freshwater for dinner as Summer Land ( co-author) is in conversation with Tracy Hall regarding her book ‘The Last Victim

In 2017,Tracy Hall’s life went from fact to fiction overnight when she discovered the man she’d been dating for nearly two years, Max, was actually one of Australian’s most prolific con men- Hamish McLaren. Also known as Hamish Watson. Also known as Hamish Maxwell.

Suddenly ‘Max” was gone, along with the $317,000 in life savings Tracy had given him to invest. As for her ability to trust? Hamish had stolen that too.

Through speaking with investigators and playing an instrumental role in The Australian’s hit podcast, Who the Hell is Hamish?, Tracy would soon discover she was not Hamish’s only victim – just his last. Hamish, and his Colgate-commercial-worthy smile, had been honing his confidence game for decades.

The Last Victim shares the full story of what happened before, during, and after Tracy unknowingly swiped right on a man who’d reportedly swindled people around the world out of an estimated $70 million through investment and business scams.

Wednesday 6th November 6pm | Dinner – Norman Swan – ‘So you want to know what’s good for kids?
Join us at Pilu at Freshwater for dinner as Fiona Higgins  is in conversation with Norman Swan regarding his latest book ‘So you want to know what’s good for kids?‘.
The ultimate parenting guide on what matters from birth to ten by one of Australia’s most trusted doctors, Dr Norman Swan.
We all want our kids to grow into happy, healthy adults and the first ten years count more than any other time in our lives. So what should we be doing to give them the best chance? Most books on childhood stop at age five and start again in adolescence. They miss the critical primary school age years leading to adolescence – the years that make all the difference. With a background in paediatrics, a deep interest in child development and a long career covering, de-mystifying and broadcasting the latest medical research, Dr Norman Swan fills that gap. 
A great insight for  parents/grandparents/ and carers of children.
