About this event

When Covid lockdowns hit Melbourne, Age Columnist Kate Halfpenny and second husband Chris decide to make a sea change and move to Ocean Grove to ease financial pressures and live out the beach lifestyle. But empty nesting, a husband keeping secrets, menopause and a midlife crisis flipped Kate's world. Join Kate for an evening of stories of dancing naked, boogie boarding, menopause, friendships, depression and survival.

About Kate:

Kate Halfpenny has spent four decades telling other people's stories as an award-winning writer, editor and commentator for Who, Vogue, Marie Claire and ABC Radio. Her own plot twists include three kids, two husbands, and one mission to talk honestly about midlife as a columnist for The Age and Sydney Morning Herald. Kate is inspired by words, nostalgia, vodka cocktails, salt water and Dave Grohl.

Join us for dinner in the Casino Room after Kate's interview for a fun evening out. Book your dinner on arrival before 615 pm for a 715 pm dinner service.
