Tuesday 8th October 6pm | Dinner – Noni Hazlehurst – ‘Dropping the Mask‘
Join us at Pilu at Freshwater for dinner as Fiona Higgins is in conversation with Noni Hazlehurst regarding her memoir ”Dropping the Mask“.
Noni Hazlehurst is an icon. A household name, our best-loved actor, she’s graced our screens and theatres with her presence for over forty years – and won our hearts and our respect in the process.
In some ways, she is an ordinary woman – a single mother to two boys, she knows about sacrifice, stretching thin and juggling. She is clearly also an extraordinary woman – only the second woman to be inducted into the Logies Hall of Fame in 32 years.
And like Noni herself, this will be no ordinary memoir. A natural-born storyteller, Noni Hazlehurst is funny, fierce, truthful. She’s thoughtful and clear-eyed about the world. This memoir will be full, rich, funny, lively, opinionated – and a testament to the power of storytelling.
Enjoy a two course dinner and Prosecco or Bellini on arrival as Fiona interviews Noni.

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.
