Places & Travel, Society & Culture

The Escape Pod team: Jo Prior, Russ Masterton and Mark Adams are in fine form as they introduce Diane de Saint Leger from the French Department of the University of Melbourne.

Diane has just launched a fascinating centenary celebrating exhibition, “Somewhere in France Australians on the Western Front“. Free entry, open 7 days located on level 1 of the Baillieu Library, Parkville campus.

You may be a history buff, Francophile, high school student or fascinated by your family’s connection to WWI. Regardless, this is a superb exhibition that focuses on the human element of soldiers as tourists.

Moving in content, a must see exhibition that you need to be “in the know” for. Superb for friends and family visiting Melbourne, especially if they think they know Melbourne!
