Imagining the Past\\u2019s new season features live recorded sessions from the 2019 HNSA conference brought to you by our host, Greg Johnston. Our tenth episode explores Parramatta, the second penal settlement established in Australia. When Thomas Keneally and Meg Keneally decided to set their Monsarratt detective series there, Meg sought the assistance of local historian, Gay Hendrikson, to dig into the township\\u2019s history. Gillian Polack learns how Meg and Gay formed a working relationship to trace the footsteps of the Keneallys\\u2019 characters, locate potential murder sites, and pore over history together, and how their collaboration extended to Meg\\u2019s first solo novel Fled.
