Sir John Quick Public Lecture series
The Sir John Quick Lecture is presented annually by La Trobe University Bendigo campus with the support of the Sir John Quick Committee and the City of Greater Bendigo.
The Sir John Quick lecture was established in memory of an acknowledged 'father' of Australian Federation. Sir John Quick was awarded a knighthood in 1901 for his work for Federation. He was Bendigo's first Federal MP, holding the seat until 1913
The faculty of Education has arranged for Shaun Tan to present this year's Sir John Quick Lecture. Shaun is best known for his illustrated books that deal with social, political and historical subjects through surreal, dream-like imagery. Shaun directed the Academy Award winning short film The Lost Thing and in 2011 he received the prestigious Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, honouring his contribution to international children's literature.
