In leading several courses at U3AC over the past 12 years I have collected a variety of lectures about ‘interesting people’ and hope others will find them so. They include the Australian Aborigines to 1788; the Australian Aborigines from 1788 to the present day; the Historical Jesus; the Virgin Mary; King Arthur; The Emperor Constantine; Lachlan MacQuarrie; Pope Pius XII, John Momash; the first thousand years of popes.
