What an interesting and uplifting story! I did not expect to learn so much from this presentation. The presenter, Uli Holmes, is a delight to listen to and makes the tale of Betty Eccles one to remember!

Visited the site yesterday and went on Uli's tour. I recommend it to everyone. She is a really good presenter and Parramatta Park is such a delightful place. Full of history and such a beautiful place
