By Jude Paul, from Bulletin 8 of 2025 (October)

Join us to hear local resident and former senator John Faulkner talk about his new book Fishy Business: The story of Sydney and its fish markets.

John has been passionate about the Sydney Fish Market for decades and his many years of speaking with its people and recording its rich history are brought together in this book.

The book recounts the larger-than-life characters, political machinations and shady dealings as well as the incredible success stories of hard-working families, many of whom arrived in Australia as migrants from Europe and Asia.

This is a very timely subject for us all and a great opportunity to hear from our own very well-informed source.

Wednesday 5 November 2025, 6–7 pm, Gleebooks Café, Mezzanine level, 49 Glebe Point Road.

$30 including savoury tasters and a glass of wine.

Bookings: Eventbrite
