Far From The Madding Crowd: FILM - June 25: Thomas Hardy's classic novel of a loving relationship frustrated by pride. Bathsheba, a beautiful young woman, rejects the
advances of the humble shepherd Gabriel because she believes he is far below her and
will represent a constriction of her prospects. However time tells that Gabriel is actually
the best person to answer her greatest needs. The Biblical themes in Far From The
Madding Crowd are well established and well worth the attention of older readerships.
Victorian Indigenous singer song-writer Archie Roach, who brought the story of the Stolen
Generations to a broad Australian audience, is among those recognised in the 2015
Queen's Birthday honours. Roach, a Gunditjmara Bundjalung man, was made a Member
of the Order of Australia (AM) for his "significant service to the performing arts as a singer,
song-writer and guitarist, and to the community as a spokesman for social justice".
