The Victorian branch of The Australiana Fund tour and lunch at Beleura House and Garden.

The house had belonged to the Tallis family. Sir George Tallis was a great theatrical entrepreneur who established J.C.Williamsons. John Tallis, his son, was a composer and pianist. John died in 1996 and the house is a fascinating private museum and concert venue with a magnificent garden. It was an absolutely perfect autumn day and fund members, including Tamie Frazer and Bruce Trethowan, could enjoy lunch outdoors between guided tours of house and garden.
