Peter FitzSimons draws a full house

BESTSELLING author Peter FitzSimons drew a packed audience at the Stawell Library this week, with locals filling the space to hear him speak about his passion for storytelling and his commitment to preserving the stories of Australian men and women throughout the nation’s history. Mr FitzSimons’ latest book, The Courageous Life of Weary Dunlop, chronicles the remarkable life of the heroic doctor whose leadership became a lifeline for thousands of Australian prisoners of war on the infamous Thai–Burma railway during the Second World War.
