Book launch for When The Garamuts Beat

Written By Christine Leonard

Fr Franz Miltrup SM. Koromira church in Bougainville in the background

I am holding a book launch for the Miltrup memoir on Saturday 18 March from 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm at 22 Tallaroon Street Jindalee. If you are interested in the book, and would like to meet me and Fr Harry Moore SM, who translated the memoir from Tok Pisin to English, please drop me a line via the contacts page.

The book has been been lodged with the National Library Australia and Queensland State Library as part of an author’s Legal Deposit requirement when applying an ISBN to the book. Sales are going well but there is a limited number printed so if this looks like a good read to you, which I think it is, then please don’t leave it to long to put in your order.
