On 30 October, amid the heritage listed architecture and graceful decor of University House,   a panel of distinguished writers: Frank Moorhouse, Lenore Coltheart, Susan Mary Withycombe, Jaky Troy, Stephen Dovers and Chris Uhlmann,  offered their reflections on how Canberra's history has, can be, or should be written from a range of viewpoints.  Dr Nicholas Brown chaired the event and ensured that speakers kept within their allotted time thus allowing for audience input. The enthusiastic discussions  carried on into the reception that followed the formal part of the evening. The event was a School of History  contribution to the Canberra 100 celebrations
