Date: Thursday 12 November
Time: 7.00pm to late
Venue: Club Restaurant
Price: Members/Guests $99
Price includes a glass of wine on arrival and a three course meal to complement a range of new release Henschke wines.
The Henschke family is one of the longest-established wine families in the Barossa established in 1861, with the first commercial vintage traced to 1868. Today, fifth-generation Stephen Henschke and his wife Prue uphold the family name and reputation, as winemaker and viticulturist respectively. The highly revered and much sought-after Hill of Grace is the pinnacle of the red wines, but another shiraz first made by Cyril, the Mount Eddlestone, and the Cyril Henschke Cabernet Sauvignon – introduced by Stephen as a tribute to his father – have forged their own niche with red wine lovers the world over.
Origins Dinner 
Date: Tuesday 24 November
Time:7.00pm to late
Venue: Club Restaurant
Price: Members/Guests $89
Price includes a three-course meal with selected beverage to match to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin’s ‘Origin of the Species’.
2009 marks the bicentenary of the father of evolutionary theory, Charles Darwin’s birth and 150 years since the publication of his book ‘On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection’. His ideas about evolution have changed our understanding of the natural world and our place within it.
Today, the teaching of modern biology and many aspects of contemporary medicine are founded upon his theory of evolution, but his ideas have also had a wide-reaching infl uence on a range of other academics from different fields.
This dinner, held on the exact date of the book’s publication, brings together three generations of
academics discussing Darwin, his theories and how his book has affected them in their careers. Hosted by Nicholas Bannan, Assistant Professor of Music Education, the dinner will feature reflections from Emeritus Professor Charles Oxnard, Senior Honorary Research Fellow for the School of Anatomy and Human Biology who has enjoyed an extraordinary scientific career spanning more than 50 years over four continents, and Professor Leigh Simmons, ARC Federation Fellow for the School at Animal Biology.
